I was at a bookstore today and saw a book titled "Kill Reply All", about internet/email etiquette.
It drives me nuts when people in a group message reply to all when all they need to do is reply to the sender. I used to see that a lot when I was on various mailing lists, like a local gardening group that would send out mass emails. I'd end up with 50 emails clogging my inbox, along the lines of "Thanks" or "Good info". Sigh. I couldn't keep up with it and had to opt out of those chains.
Is there software or a device that restricts or hides the options of Reply vs Reply All? Seems to be the case. I only ever email on desktop computers and there is no mistake between choosing Reply and Reply All (using Thunderbird or Outlook).
We have that problem sometimes. Recently one of the directors sent out a nice email announcing that a senior manager was retiring, to everyone. At least a couple of dozen people did "reply all" with their congratulations.

Likewise with the second. Someone's retirement is a good opportunity for everyone to recognize them and their future.
I agree with tnff; when they send an announcement of someone retiring, or being hired/promoted/transferred, most of the employees "reply all" with their congratulatory words. It might not be necessary, but I think the subject might enjoy everyone seeing these notes? I dunno, but it's pretty standard where I work. It's almost like signing a digital card, I guess.
always "reply all" on all corporate wide emails. This approach will help with your visibility in the company.

And you realize that because of embarrassing pushback right?
