For whatever reason people piggybacking off an email discussion with another topic bugs me, at least enough to bring it up on PotD. To me it is a bit distracting to get a reply on a topic not at all related to what the email discussion is about. If said person simply wanted to reuse the emails that already exist, it's a simple effort to just copy-paste them in a new email instead of doing a reply-all/forwarding within the same email.

I'm sure its weird me asking about this on a public forum were users are prone to trolling/derailing topics but I kinda would think people would be more courteous in an email discussion to stay on the topic at hand and if they need to announce something, to do it in a separate email to the same group of people.

Do people simply do it out of laziness? Instead of copy-pasting with a new email? Or in some cases people feel sending out too many different emails will just discourage people from reading the different ones?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you
