Email chain of death

The resulting email chain from a group email, caused when a question is sent to multiple people, and everyone chirps in with varying replies, possibly including adding additional recipients who might have some interest in the matter (or more than likely not).

Good indicators are when multiple people send emails basically saying the same thing, or when new random people start chirping in to a discussion that's already been agreed.

As per my previous email

This phrase is usually used in the context of business related things, where some manager or employee above you demands for information or input when clearly you've given them it in your last email. Obviously that person has not read your emails nor did they bother to read them. They probably only sent the email because it was their job to do so.

Me: *Gives them the required documents via email*
