Yeah, I'm not too popular either.

No, not popular, this isn't personal email. That is all work related email with the exception of 4-5 spams that made their way through the filter.
We also have a problem with the "circ and file" system. You can address email to "circ and file" which means a list of a few people get it and distribute it as they see appropriate. A lot of people add "circ and file" in addition to any and all parties who would ever be interested, then about a dozen of us who would never be interested. Then, our file clerk takes those emails and "circs" them to everyone who got it originally. Then, our staff who scans documents scans the email, the recirculates the email as a scanned document attachment to a new email to all who it may or may not pertain, who all happen to be on the original recipient list. Its like a neverending cycle. So, 1 email, at least 3 times. Forget it if there is a "reply to all" conversation.  I love work.

And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now!
Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

Well then, I have a question for you email savvy types.
There is a person within our organization that sends very questionable emails.
For example, there was one about Christmas ornaments and a topless woman.
She sent this from work to my work email. All on company machines/time.
How do you deal with that? When I opened that email up, I am hellaglad no one else was in the office.
I forwarded one to Mr Aire at home for his opinion and he said that he would be brought up on charges were that to be found on his comp at work.
What do you do??
