How to make certain your email won't be read
Address it to more than one person.
Anytime I get one of those it goes right into the trash without even being opened.
When I have something of interest to send to more than one person I manually address 50 or 100 individual emails, to however many individuals I think might find it of value.
That's the TechnoDolt™ way.
If you don't have time for me why should I make time for you?
"The hard way is the best way, not because it is the hard way, but because it is the best way."
Words I live by.

Hang on...
You live by the hard way is the best way, not because it's hard but 'cause it's best?
Did you stop living by work smart, not hard?
Maybe you could change it to "The smart way is the best way, because it's usually not as hard, and Flautist said so." Cover all the bases, kind of thing.

Oh Joe, I know you have personally CC'd messages to me for others, or from you including me.
Personally, I like to know my words are being shared...I like to feel part of the herd...to enjoy with multiple people. Ok, occasionally. If I say something I want multiple people to read or to respond to, I like to know that they can all be a part of the conversation to the point of even leaving me out of the message if they so choose.

You can also send separate copies of an e-mail to a list of people using the "mail merge" feature of Microsoft Word (probably other word processing programs too).
