Yep, In a work email, I can @ someone and it adds them in the "To" field as well as providing a pointer to them in the email. Interesting. I may start using that.

On group emails, where 5-10 folks are copied. You can have an issue being discussed where you want to address comment A to a particular person, and comment B to someone else. The @ pointer to that person should help them focus on the stuff most related to them, and possibly keep them from missing stuff that is addressed to them.

eg, you've got an email talking about rebuilding an engine, and the email thread includes the parts guy (Bob), the mechanic doing the work (Zeke), and the machine shop guy (Jeff).

Quote:
@Bob,
We originally ordered the Comp cams, 290º duration and .494" lift cam. Can you cancel that order and instead order the Isky cam with 285º and .520" lift cam?

@Zeke,
Have you pulled all of the valves out of the heads so they can be sent to the machine shop?

@Jeff
When you get the block and heads, can you use a bore plate when working on the block, and port the heads to match the intake and exhaust?

I'd like to swap from the Comp cams, 290º duration and .494" lift cam.to the Isky cam with 285º and .520" lift cam?

Are the heads at the machine shop yet? I'd like a bore plate when working on the block, and I'd like the ports in the heads to match the intake and exhaust?
In the first email, the tags should get attention. In the second email (especially if it was a longer email with more detail info), the questions at the end probably won't be seen by the right people and may never get answered.
