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.

    This is the answer, bbc is the solution.

    To get less “tech inclined” people to use the bbc feature is another story.

    Sending a email to the whole office from HR, bbc all recipients. Then recipients can only reply to HR, and not 600 plus staff members, into a email chain that last all day asking people to stop replying all, while replying all at the same time.

      So are you directly supplying the bbc or did you hire someone?

      What’s so technical about working with a bbc? I mean they’re big but not that different from a regular c.

      You want to bbc over 600 people? You’re going to need people working in shifts. I don’t think it could be done all at once.

      You want the bbcs to last all day? Jesus that’s a hell of an ask. I hope you’re hiring professionals.

      What’s email got to do with bbc?
