    A majority of corporate idiots don’t bcc. That’s why the above happens a lot.

      There’s a way in most email environments to setup a mail flow rule that will convert any email with over x number of users CC’d to BCC.

      The system must handle the idiots, not the other way around

        Interesting. I’ve never seen that, but I haven’t worked in a company where I’ve needed to send to more than, at most, 15 people at a time.

        Probably should be a standard default setting. I wonder what the case for not doing this is? If someone needs to see who is in a group they can usually just open the group in their client and view the emails.

      The talk of herding cats comes to mind…

      In the particular one that came to mind if I recall correctly was a badly configured distro list that let anyone reply to it. Normally broadcast lists like that would be reserved for people on a special comms team, but the permissions didn’t get restricted properly.
