Reply All
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reply All or Reply to All is a term used in e-mail. It refers to sending a reply message not only to an e-mail's original author, but also to any other recipients that were listed in the original To or Cc lists. This should only be done with consideration as when the list of recipients is long, comments may be passed on to unintended recipients, and can also clog server bandwidth as hundreds or thousands can be included with each reply.
On occasion, misuse of the "Reply All" function has caused email storms, which have led to crashing internal servers, as well as discipline in many companies[citation needed]. In order to prevent misuse, some email lists have a restricted number of allowed senders.
