Man, I had no idea that when I posted the new job position using my direct email rather than the corporate email, that I would be e-mauled!

Email relay

When one person sends an email to another person, but they don't know the answer so they forward on to someone else they think is the right person to deal with the problem, that person in turn also doesn't know and once again forwards the email on to another person. This chain keeps on going until someone with the knowledge and expertise gets the forwarded email and eventually answers the question or sorts out the problem. All other people in the email chain are simply part of the relay of getting the baton (the email) to the last person who can cross over the finish line
The CEO Pierre sent an email to Antoine asking him for some figures for his work. Antoine doesn't have this information but thinks Gisele in Performance team might know and forwards this email on to her. Gisele also doesn't know but forwards the email onto Elena in Reporting team. Elena also doesn't know but forwards it on to Gary in Data Admin. Gary does in fact have a list of the figures Steve is requesting and so answers Pierre with the information required and thus finishing the email relay

Email Hero

A person who writes an aggressive and/or offensive email to one or multiple people, pointing the 'finger of blame' and/or undermining them, then when they see these people in person, they act as if nothing has happened.
Jo sends an email to Kate stating:

"Hi Kate, Your suggestion for the end of year celebration sounds boring so we're going to go with my other idea. Jo."

Then when Jo walks into the kitchen at the same time as Kate, Jo acts like Kate's best friend, "Hey Kate, How are things in your area today?"... Kate thinks Jo is an idiot and coward.

Jo has been an Email Hero - Tough in email, gutless in person.

email mitosis

The process by which an email, which you are copied on, has replicated each of its replies, separated the thread into several identical threads, each containing in its own new information from the others copied, without you knowing what the fuck is going on anymore
Hey I was looking into that Baggage that got lost and I found that it wasn't in our storage facility.

Yeah, everyone already knew that because Someone else found it found it like an hour ago, I guess you weren't on that thread...

I think urban dictionary should have a definition about "email mitosis" to describe that phenomenon.
