Simple smarts make a difference — part two
August 18, 2009 — Abigail Hamilton
I was just recalling a time when I was working on a contract at Microsoft and happened to mention how annoying it was that the Microsoft Outlook email program doesn’t let you select “Reply All” to an email message AFTER you’ve already selected “Reply.” You have to cancel the reply message and start all over again, selecting “Reply All.”
The Program Manager I was talking to expressed disbelief that ANY email program could let you chnage your mind and select the “Reply All” option after starting a reply — and, awkwardly, I had to tell him that in fact I do it all the time with Mac’s Mail program.
It’s a little embarrassing to admit that I almost NEVER remember to hit “Reply All” when replying to a message until I’ve already started the reply…but, that’s why I just love Mac Mail.
