The Reply `cc` Tango
Say you cc someone on an email. We’ve talked about the expectations there before, but that was largely from setting expectations as a sender. As a receiver, who then replies, what are those expectations? In my experience, it’s random whether the people replying include the cc’d people or not. I’m not entirely sure if this…

Decays over time?
Automattic makes a thing called P2 which is the way communication happens there. I think they use Slack and other things too, so I’m not 100% sure how it all works.

End of Mailplane?
I was a little sad to get this email: I’m a Gmail user and I really like the Mailplane tabbed interface for doing email on different accounts.

The One Way
You know what’s a weird email archetype? The one way. It’s when you get an email from someone that very much wants to tell you something. Maybe they read something you wrote. They saw something you made. They cross paths with some part of your life. They type it all up and send it to…
