Reply To All Monitor Add-In for Microsoft® Outlook®
Outlook: 2000 | 2002/XP | 2003 | 2007
SKU: A73164
Highlights:
Prompts you when you are going to reply to everyone - preventing you from sending out potentially confidential information you may not want to share
Saves time by preventing Outlook from including your name and email address in a reply to all message
Prompts you before sending with a confirmation message if you were BCC'ed on the message to prevent you from inadvertently "spilling the beans" that you were BCC'ed on that message
Optional "lock down mode" to prevent changes (for volume/corporate customers only)
Do you need help controlling internal spam? Internal spam are those emails
that are responded to when a well-meaning user inadvertently sends out a corporate message to
everyone on a large list.
They usually contain ever so helpful messages like "Unsubscribe me" or "You sent this to everyone?
Why?" - and the problem is not the initial response, but all the responses after that, because they
bring the email servers to their knees.
Reply To All Monitor helps to avoid these disasters by warning users that they are about to reply to everyone. This simple check is enough to prevent the majority of errors.
The add-in has four built in checks:
...prompts when a reply to all is going to occur
...removes your own name from the list of recipients
...prompts you when it looks like you were BCC'ed on the message
...prompts when you click the "Reply" instead of the "Reply To All" button and there is more than one recipient
Features and Benefits
Prompts when a reply to all is going to occur, to prevent replies going out to everyone in a large distribution list, and to prevent confidential or embarassing information from going to the wrong people
Optionally only prompts when a reply is destined to go outside your company domains
Removes your own name and address from the list of recipients, to save time
Prompts you when it looks like you were BCC'ed on the message, so that you don't inadvertently reveal that you were the recipient of the blind carbon copied (BCC) message
Prompts when the "Reply" is clicked (instead of the "Reply To All") and there is more than one recipient - to keep everyone in the loop the first time around
Allows the text of each prompt to be customized
Independently control each of these features
Works with, but does not require, Microsoft® Exchange Server
Integrates directly into Outlook for easy access
Works with Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2003, 2002 (aka XP), and 2000
All of these features are individually controlled, so that you can just use one or the other independently. And like
all the Sperry Software add-ins, they work with Microsoft Exchange but don't require it, requiring just Microsoft Outlook 2000 or higher.
More Info: My name keeps appearing when I click reply to all. Why does this happen?
"If you have more than one e-mail address, Outlook will include your mail in the reply
to all as it cannot parse the address to whom the original mail was sent. If there is
only one mail address for you in Outlook, it will not include you in the reply to all."
- Milly Staples [Outlook MVP]
Note for Exchange users:
The add-in will work with Exchange or without, but you might be interested in this answer to a post on Usenet:
"If you are a Microsoft Exchange user, your internet address is always considered a proxy/secondary address.
The Exchange Administrator can help you avoid your email address showing up by using the ResolveP2 key on
the Internet Mail Connector/SMTP Virtual server that accepts mail for the site."
