Awful idea. Their goal here is to eliminate inefficiencies, and a 1-second delay for each recipient really doesn’t help.

Only those who have worked for an IT organization led by Mitchell Habib can truly understand the ridiculousness of the request. It is widely know within his former company, Citi, that his keyboard was frequently replaced. The funny part was, there was always a new dent in the wall which looked strangely like a keyboard as well. He has a little man complex. I watched him tryo to commandeer a bus during a company trip because people weren’t loading fast enough.

There is a simpler solution. As most of the Reply All problem has to do with corporate mailings that go to all employess, rather then project related distribution lists, the EASIEST solution would be to have the SENDER put all the recipients (distribution list names) in the BCC field. Then, nobody can reply all. Only to the sender. I looked this up and found Microsoft actually recommends this procedure.

Just another knee-jerk reaction and a classic example of treating the symptom and not the disease!

We have already figured out how to work around the reply all button being removed….

ctrl
shift
R

They can take the button away but they can’t take the functionaility out of the app.

I think Gmail does reply-all very well:

1) It’s a two click operation (a regular reply is a one click operation) which prevents incidental use.

2) You can “mute” an entire conversation (including all future replies) which moves it out of your Inbox.

While I don’t use Outlook myself, I do think it’s a nice tool for people who do a lot of e-mail, especially in a corporate environment. Reply-all is actually something I use myself from time to time, and while I could certainly live without it, there might be people who’d rather not.

I think it’s an interesting experiment. Even if they do bring back the functionality in the future (as I think they will), maybe the whole thing will make their employees more aware of the problem.

Cool Seems like a nice way to solve that problem, though this kind of thing requires the company to have a culture, which is something that from my (admittedly limited) experience, companies like Nielsen lack.

By companies like Nielsen I mean big, fat and made entirely out of paper.

Hate to break it to Nielsen, you can forward a message to 30000 internal users, only one copy is stored in exchange, the rest are pointers. oops.
