Is there an obvious technical reason why the major email services (Outlook, gmail, etc) can't seem to limit recipients from Replying-All? - eviltoast

Why not just have an easy button that you can click saying Do Not Allow Reply All?

I know that there are some ways you can limit reply-all availability, like in the URL linked here. But there’s a note: If recipients open this email in other mail applications except Microsoft Outlook, such as opening on web page via web mailbox, they can reply all this email.

I’m semi-tech savvy but I’m no programmer. It feels like it should be easy to do, so either I’m totally wrong or email services are really missing out on a great thing they could do.

    Just don’t use it for mass mailing external addresses. That’ll get you on a blacklist faster than you’d think.

    What do you mean by this?

      Putting a bunch of recipients in bcc to send out mass mail is what spammers do.
      So if you also do this, you’ll look like a spammer.
      This may lead to your emails getting rejected by various mail servers in the future.
