Nielmail

A Nielmail is an email from a manager that has no relevant information on it, it is probably sent to the wrong inbox.

Nielmails are essentially a way to kick the can down the road, and hope someone else will pick it up and deal with it.

Named after a Peckham Street Urchin made good.

I had to spend an hour sorting out that Nielmail, and it wasn't even for our department!
