There's a cute feature of Outlook these days, where if you get @named in the body of the email, you are added to the To: field, if you are already on the CC: field you get moved to the To: field. You also get an @ icon in your inbox next to the email showing that you've been directly referenced. Once people know about this feature it works quite well pulling you into a conversation that you may be ignoring as you were only CC'd up to that point.
