I have kids who don't know how to start a new email. They just go back and reply to the first email I ever sent them all year long and never change the subject line. Others know how to start a new email but they write the body of the email in the subject line and leave the body blank. One kid was properly blown away that I could attach documents to emails…

Tbf I know a ton of adults like this. Zoomers about to have the email communication skills of old racist boomers

Given that every email client is different and there's a generational thing of "kids just kNoW aBoUt CoMpUtErS", this isn't surprising. If nobody is teaching the kids they won't know.
