My 0.02 USD (0.05 CAN) Interesting. I find myself looking back to before I worked in IT and always hated using Reply All. Most email conversations then were between individuals. As I moved into an Educational institution I found that Reply All was necessary as groups were not always available to reply to.
Now, having to be on several lists and attempting to be a 'good' member of the community I try to throw in the odd word here and there. This often means that Reply All is the easiest way to make sure that you get everyone. If I don't want to clutter the list then just Reply to the individual. This often works for suggested fixes where the expectation is that the person would eventually post their thanks with what worked. As courtesy, when I Reply All to a list I often edit the sender out. After all, they get theirs from the list and really don't need two copies. Until a programmer can make a Reply All button that can detect that your replying to a list and to strip out the sender from the list of addresses... Well, lets just say that that won't happen easily. I always find it funny that Change Management falls under IT yet IT is what doesn't want to change how they do things. Even if all it requires is "move the mouse 1 inch to the right".

Hehe... I find it amusing that a news list will starve because a bunch of computer proffesionals can't change behavior and move the mouse 1 inch to the right to do a 'reply to all', what do you do when a change in legislation makes it neccessary to change a program ?? - ignores the change because it's annoying to implement the change ? I don't think the list will starve, eventually people will learn to move the mouse that teeny little bit :-) best regards from Denmark Claus Derlien Programmxr Frie Funktionfrer * Frie Funktionfrers A-kasse - Tvfrfaglig Postboks 925 * Paghs Gerd * Overstrfde 2B 5100 Odense C Tlf.: 6313 8669 * Mobil: 2015 1238 * Fax: 6313 8555 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * www.f-f.dk Frie Funktionfrer - faglig organisation og tvfrfaglig a-kasse - www.f-f.dk ************************************************************************ *************************************************************** Denne email og alle filer vedlagt som bilag kan indeholde fortroligt materiale, der kun er beregnet for adressaten, og maa ikke udleveres eller kopieres til uvedkommende.
