[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if anyone remembers when Gmail changed how it handled email threads? I was an outlook user and only used Gmail for school applications and emailing my mom. It was a big change for me when it shifted to batching together every message in a thread.

Anyway, DH and I received some kind of cursory scheduling email from the admissions director at a school, and the new Gmail display confused me and instead of replying to the message DH has forwarded to me, I unknowingly replied directly to the message from the admissions director. I was frustrated with how DH was handling admissions events and was super curt and said “we need to make this happen, you need to cancel your meeting” to DH. Except I was replying to the admissions officer.

The director kindly said that she thought I meant it from someone else and she would see us in x day. I sent a very apologetic email that she was very gracious about and my child got in. We are long gone from that school as is she but once in a while we run into each other and I think of that email. And I always delete the “to” field when writing an important email and don’t add the recipient until I triple check the content. [/quote]
