Please, Don't Reply All

Hello, hi and howdy.

The person who sent you the link to this page really likes you but wants to help you use email in a more effective manner.

You may not realize it, but you clicked “Reply All” when composing your response to an email that had multiple recipients or addresses in the “To:” or “CC:” fields. By recieving this link, a repient of the email feels that they did not need to be sent or included in your reply. If you didn't hit “Reply All”, you may have replied to a mailing list. This has the same effect as “Reply All.”

It may be appropriate in some circumstances to use the “Reply All” feature, but:

This should only be done with consideration as when the list of recipients is long, comments may be passed on to unintended recipients
—Wikipedia

Unfortunately, one of the recipeints did not agree with your judgment on your use of “Reply All.”

This doesn’t mean you are bad person or that you did something wrong, consider this website a gentle reminder to check who is in your “To:” or “CC:” field before hitting “Send.” The person who sent you the link to this page does not harbor ill feelings towards you. They may have:

specific email etiquette rules,
a lot of email to get through everyday,
an aversion to reading email that was not specifically for them.

It would be valuable to learn the very personal preferences of your friends, family members, and co-workers before including them in unrequested email.

Thanks for understanding, and if this same thing ever happens to you, feel free to reply by pasting this in:
