The presentation logic of mail sending and receiving inbox outbox and reply to the problem of broken chain

The presentation logic of email sending and receiving is inbox, outbox and reply to the problem of broken chain

One 、 background

Idle to be bored , Study some details of email sending and receiving .

Two 、 The logic of sending and receiving emails

E-mail delivery , The form of display is quite strange , Sometimes we reply to each other by email , It looks like there are back and forth in the same email, like a conversation . But if not handled properly , Will let this “ dialogue ” There are faults . such as

【 Example 1】

I'll send you an email , The content is A, You received A, And then you reply , Then I will receive a B -> A The mail （B Is the content of your reply ）, Then at this time, if you think the last reply to me is not good enough , Want to reply again , There are two options

• if ： You reply again in your inbox , I'll get it C -> A（ Your inbox is A mail , Where is the delivery box B->A mail . If you reply based on the email in the Outbox , Then I received C->A, That is, I have received B->A and C->A, It looks a little fragmented ）
• if ： You found your reply just now in the Outbox B -> A Reply to your email and you can string it up , I can receive C -> B -> A（ I received... In all B->A and C->B->A two , be C->B-> This time, the conversation can be connected ）

【 Example 2】

This example is based on the example of three people , It's better to note that we should pay attention to how to reply so that the contents of all respondents can be strung together in the email .

I sent you an email and CC Zhang San , The content is A.

First, you reply to all , All right B->A,

Zhang San replied after receiving , All right C->B->A,

At this time, you should find what you received C->B->A Reply , formation D->C->B->A, But if you are looking for A Reply by email , As a result, everyone received D->A（ such C->B->A Just like D->A Cut and split ）

（ This may really be a mistake that many people will make ！！！ May be A This email is profound , So when I found this letter, I replied directly without noticing that someone had been based on A Replied , Eventually, it is impossible to travel a chain based on the original mail ）

3、 ... and 、 E-mail delivery

There is a relatively fragmented ,“ inbox ” and “ Send box ”

1. I send you an email A, It will work

who	inbox	The Outbox
I	No mail for now	A
you	A	No mail for now

2. At this time, you reply A After email , The content is B, Then the line becomes

who	inbox	The Outbox
I	B->A( You reply to my )	A（ I sent it to you for the first time ）
you	A	B->A（ You replied to me and sent ）

3. At this time, I am based on B->A Reply to the content C

who	inbox	The Outbox
I	B->A( You reply to my )	A（ I sent it to you for the first time ）,C->B->A
you	A,C->B->A	B->A（ You replied to me and sent ）

So back and forth , In fact, it is easier to repeat the content , Like this A, It has been repeated many times in your email and mine .
