In my province in Canada (Quebec) some IT worker in the government made a template .doc document that's widely used. They exported it with the document title "sdf fdsfdsfg". This title isn't in the actual printed document but it's in the metadata. If you Google that string in quotes you'll find tons of official documents with that title.

To avoid accidentally sending an email in Outlook, I once learned a useful trick: add a nonexistent email address, like sdfsdf to the To or CC field. Email would not be sent until you removed it. Lo and behold, one day I entered sdfsdfsdf, and it resolved. Someone of course was using this as a test group name.

Why not simply leave To and CC empty until it's ready to send?

Right, for new email leaving them empty would work. This is for when you reply to a thread.

Ok this is amazing. I can’t decide whether it’s funnier when the result header is something super official or when it’s just “sdf fdsfdsfg” with official content inside.
