Avoid a Reply To All Crisis with VBOffice ReplyAll

Have you ever hit "Reply To All" when you meant to hit "Reply" and caused yourself a big problem? Lots of us have, some more than once. Well, the kind folks at VBOffice have created a free add-in that will help you avoid an Outlook reply to all crisis by warning you when you click "Reply To All."

This is super simple to install and use. Just click this link to download the add-in. Close Outlook, then run the program you just downloaded. Restart Outlook and you will be ready to go.

Now when you select a message in the Inbox and click the "Reply To All" button, Outlook pops up a warning box asking you to confirm that you really want to reply to all the people who received the message.

NOTE: The warning box does not appear if you open the message in its own window first (say be double-clicking it in the Inbox) then click the "Reply To All"option in the ribbon. That makes this a helpful free add-in, but not a guaranteed solution to the Reply All problem.
