[Everyone] Re: Email list problem

[Tom]

James - you're quite right. Unfortunately, we've had a bug in the
email system recently, which meant that no-one could send to any
address *apart* from "Everyone in the Office". Whilst this was swiftly
rectified, the ninety-three minutes the bug persisted was apparently
long enough to ingrain the notion that all emails should be sent to
everyone, all the time, into most user's heads. As ever, PEBCAK.

Can I remind everyone that the lists are meant for bulk mailing, and
that personal email should be sent ONLY to the individual in question?
Can I also remind everyone to be especially diligent when emailing
Eve?

Thanks,

t.

While in many cases it's obviously down to some idiot who can't work out the right email address to send things to (not mentioning the gooseberry in the lift by name, of course), I can't help wondering if a "bug" or "trojan virus" has snuck into the Lotus Thunderbird Office Server 1998 software. Tom, can you wave whatever magic wand you have down there and check?

It really wouldn't be pretty!
