Fancy – What a great comment. This type of reply (without the original message) happens to me all the time and can be very frustrating. I might have to use your response on the next one I get.

i could not agree more … in addition, there is that group of people who cannot seem to figure out how to check the box (at least in our system) to include the body of the original email in their reply, or better yet, their forwarded message. i have a saved reply to these people that reads:
“I do not have ESP. Please resend this email with the content of the original email you received. You will find instructions on this attached below.”

LOL Brac. I have this picture in my mind of her hitting send on the reply all email, and then immediately realizing what she had done… in slow motion yelling “NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo….” in epic movie style.

To me, there are few things worse than the abuse of the Reply All feature. I could go on a tirade about it, but I don’t think anyone would want to read the novel. Instead, I will warn those who don’t pay attention and fall into “The Accidental Reply All” category: A woman was fired from my work for accidentally replying all to the whole office three times. This is an excerpt from her third strike:

…no Jewish sales people at [name of my company]….

Granted, her cases were offensive, but still, be careful. The Reply All option can have more consequences than just annoying your coworkers.

I think what’s worse than the replay all attack is the CC attack. A co-worker CCs your supervisor to tell you how that you have done something wrong or not done something that was asked of you. Just send a friendly reminder, not an attack with a CC to your superior.

Jared – Just curious. What e-mail client you use?

McFly – Good point. Hate the apology one as well.

There’s one more type of “reply all” – the apology reply all. It’s when you follow up an accidental reply all with an apology, for wasting most people’s time. Ironically, this wastes most people’s time.

it somewhat exists… if you make your own private mailing list… people can’t not reply to it.

for example: if i want to email my whole team – Tim, Bob, Sue, and Carol. I’ll make a “group” under contacts with all their names/emails in it. This will allow me to email the whole team, but the important difference is that the other person does not have this group created and Notes won’t allow you to reply to it. You should get a “No Match” prompt.
