I've seen that before. Would you believe, it's because there are older managers out there who are so byzantine and incapable of adapting to progress that they actually print every single email they receive? I used to work with people like that. There was one manager who would receive your email, print it, then walk over to your office with it in hand to discuss what you had told him, and keep referring back to his printed copy like a cheat-sheet. You could say, "Listen, could you just reply to my email with all this?" and he would ignore you.
