Reply to comment by bluebook21 in TIFU by Sending a Confidential Email to the Entire Company by CriticalCrit

Yes I add an & sign in the to or cc fields so if I press send it doesn’t send. Also really good to store draft emails in my job role when I have to send out status reports

You can have `&` in email addresses, practically anything is valid via quoted-printable. That sounds like a bug in the email server or client.

It's not a bug. I only ever use with the Outlook client so haven't tested with similar apps. I have been in my line of business of 18 years and it works for me so am not going to change now and cause a crap storm like the op.

I think I misinterpreted your comment tbf, I read it as `I insert a random & somewhere in the cc field` rather than `I put a sole ampersand as the content of the cc field`.
