Phone number - Outlook

Correct me if I am wrong but if somebody emails you and CC's other people I can only see their email address in the Outlook properties?

I emailed somebody asking for contact information, they respond and CC the other people. This person is not in the same business/organization as I am. So I got the email address but needed the phone number. I get a rude response back saying "why do you think I CC'd those individuals?

I was going to respond "I can't look up your properties beyond the name and email address of the person you CC'd" but I figured I would ask first so I don't sound like an idiot.

Unless they expected the CC'd to respond back to your email with their contact details?

But yeah, name & address only within emails.

i would say its bad practice to include phone and address detail of a third party in an email. I would think the idea in including the third party by CC is so they can reply to you with there detail if they wish.

You're right, if you're not in their organization, you don't see any details other than their email address (unless they're in your personal Contacts)

Unless they only want to be contacted by e-mail and not phone??

Shouldn't have been rude about it, perhaps just a bad day

Actually it got worse lol. The guy went off on our PM saying he has better things to do than look up information. I wanted to say I don't have access to his GAL but I decided to play ignorant.
