Apple definitely needs to improve its processes in order to ensure he and others gets credit.
But he is over-reacting about the confidential line. When I worked at Apple years ago I added a similar line when dealing with external people. And in every email I have sent whilst working for telcos, banks etc over the last decade a similar line has been included automatically at the footer. It's more a boilerplate polite request not a demand.
- wilde 5y agoThat’s not clear at all. I’d be twitchy too if I had $100k on the line and the other party had repeatedly messed up over months of interactions.
- dpkonofa 5y agoHe doesn't have $100k on the line. That's ridiculous.
- ziddoap 5y agoIt is of note that this is not the standard footer attached to outgoing e-mails. It's the first line of the email after the greeting, manually written in.
- threeseed 5y agoNot all emails will trigger the automated footer if they use it at all. They never did when I was there. And being a very serious security vulnerability (enough to warrant its own release) they are probably just being cautious. It really is a polite request not some legal demand.
- ziddoap 5y agoI didn't mean for my comment to come across as disagreeing with your overall point - just highlight that there is (in my mind) a fairly big difference between auto-generated footers attached to outgoing emails that you referenced (re banks, teclos) and explicitly written instructions at the beginning of an email.
