Why not just have an easy button that you can click saying Do Not Allow Reply All?

I know that there are some ways you can limit reply-all availability, like in the URL linked here. But there’s a note: If recipients open this email in other mail applications except Microsoft Outlook, such as opening on web page via web mailbox, they can reply all this email.

I’m semi-tech savvy but I’m no programmer. It feels like it should be easy to do, so either I’m totally wrong or email services are really missing out on a great thing they could do.

    you think thats bad. group texts automatically send to all. It doesn’t even default to just replying to the last person to send to you.

      This is correct. Any message sent to a group, should reply to the group by default.

      We brought on a man in his mid 50s. He knows the work and doesn’t complain about long hard hours. The problem is he can barely work his iPhone let alone a laptop. I’m just a team lead so I don’t need to deal with his computer shit really, but I learned quickly that I couldn’t put him on group texts. He cannot tell the difference between a group text and a regular text.

      “Don’t know why you’re asking me”

      “You should talk to X about that”

      “X” was in the group text as was his boss. After that I just took him off the group texts for the rest of the project and sent him need to know info separately.
