Email Tech Tip: Reply vs Reply All - A friendly reminder :-)
Reply only sends the new message to the original sender. Attachments are not included. Reply all sends the new message to the original sender and all other recipients on the To and Cc lines.
Do not reply-all when:
Only the original sender needs to know your reply.
Your comments will be crucial to know for the original sender but only a few other recipients. Reply to the sender and then add the select other recipients manually. Copy their addresses from the original email if that helps.
Your message is simple acknowledgment like "Thanks!" or "Me too."
Reply-all responses should be reserved for special cases only.
That's it for now!
Enjoy the Tuesday Tech Tips!
