I kept receiving extremely sensitive company emails from a client of ours who clearly wasn't checking exactly who was receiving the emails he was sending out. Good thing I was honest and trashed them. You are spot on with your “auto-fill” point.

"Its" without the apostrophe isn't correct in any circumstance. Pet peeve of mine! Sorry to be niggly.

I also find it annoying when people DO NOT CC all the people that need to be involved in a thread. I would rather have too many people on a thread than not enough as long as names are used to specify who needs to take action. Which reminds me, I should be working now... Good tips.

I get emails like this all the time: "Jon, can u send me the details for that job you did." ( The "u" NOT a typo.) I don't know about everyone else, but I would prefer a short line or two referencing what "jon" you're talking about. I have other work on my plate besides your one job. Anyone else have this problem? How about the emails you get that the client/sender thinks you’ve been working on nothing but his/her job. I get emails like this all the time:
