Here’s a great summary (stolen from my manager) of what happens when you accidentally reply-all in a large corporation (read Microsoft) -

- an announcement mail sent to a large alias
- someone reply all to ask a question, not knowing it is a large alias
- many people reply all with answers… Read More
- some people make a few jokes
- smartasses reply all to tell people not to reply all
- more smartasses reply all and agree with the smartasses
- some people reply-all to say stop it
- some people start replying all with DRM enabled, others reply all by BCC’ing the alias.
- more people reply all complaining they can’t read the DRM message or the BCC broke their precious rules.
- other people reply all to ask how to remove themselves from the alias
- people reply-all to tell people to use AutoGroup
- more people ask why they are on some random alias that they didn’t know they are on
- more people reply all to tell people not to reply all
- universe explodes
