Email & Murphy's Law

Banner

Wouldn't you know it, Murphy's law has gone digital. We proudly present Murphy's Inverse Laws of email

  1. The one message you didn't want to send, you distribute to everybody.

  2. You will always delete the most important message you receive.

  3. The vital message you printed out today will make no sense tomorrow.

  4. The message that absolutely must get to the recipient, won't.

  5. The one person on your mailing list who hates receiving unnecessary emails will always receive 5 copies of everything you send.

  6. When you configure a new email client for the first time, it will always send but not receive, or the other way around, but never both.

  7. If you send a test message to yourself it will always be received, but nothing else will.

  8. All attachments will be successfully decoded, except the one you really want.

  9. The biggest attachment you receive, that takes forever to download, and is successfully decoded will be an advert.

  10. No matter how many people you distribute an important message to, you will always forget the most important person.

  11. Just as the magazine with your new e-mail address in it is published your e-mail providor will become a dot gone (Thanks to D.W. for this one).
