Re: Used to get emails at work from a woman thinking she was emailing her husband

her system picked up my internal address instead of his external one the first time and kept reusing it as default autosuggest

I would have a specially toasty place in hell for the f**ktard who came up with the idea of actively hiding the actual email address from users. Mind you, they'd be sharing that toasty spot with the originators of quite a few features inflicted on us by MS.

it's a "feature" well designed to assist scammers and spammers, apart from the general inconvenience when it gets messed up by non-nefarious activities.
