You got mail - and someone else's too?

Inbox mail signFSA RDR Research - Advisor Survey
As many of you will know, the FSA is undertaking further research to assess the implications for firms providing advice on retail investment products of the proposed changes in the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) Consultation Paper CP09/18 published on 25 June 2009.

It would also appear that as part of this process the Head of Department, Investments Policy at the FSA is mailing the intended targets with the e mail addresses of many hundreds of IFA's - in other words it would appear that someone does not know about the BCC box.

I thought that the FSA looked very seriously upon firms that are "careless" with data.

Has anyone else had any mails like this?
