I send exactly 2 emails per year using the Microsof Outlook, to announce the exam to my students.

Guess what? Outlook cannot show me those emails I sent. It displays a threads of answers by students, not the original one. Also, no subjects are displayed for each email. But, at least, I’m offered to summarize the thread.

Guess what? That summarize button open a sidebar chatbot which asks me to copy/paste the content of the email in the chat.

The whole thing is beyond parody.
