It won’t work with messages you send to people in other companies, unless they’re on your Exchange server, or to recipients who’s mailbox is on internet mail systems (e.g. The add-in only works with Outlook 20 and only for messages to users on an Exchange server within your organization. The add-in does this by adding two buttons to the ribbon: one to enable/disable Reply All and the other to enable/disable Forward. You can also disable the ability to forward a message, although quite frankly that’s probably not as much of an issue. With this add-in installed you can disable reply all on messages you send.

Short of hunting the offenders down and giving them a piece of your mind, what can you do to stop the Reply All madness? Your first option comes from Microsoft Research who very thoughtfully created a free Outlook add-in called NoReplyAll that gives you control over reply all functionality on a per message basis. Some folks would like Microsoft to remove the functionality altogether. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to prevent that by disabling the Reply All button on messages you send? If you like that idea, then read on. Sometimes it’s useful, but for the most part people misuse it. Suddenly you’ve got 50 messages in your inbox you don’t want or need. Instead of everyone replying to the sender many will hit Reply All. For example, a manager sends a message to everyone in her/his department asking what day they’d like to have the holiday party on. Why? Because it makes it too easy for recipients to respond to everyone the original message was sent to instead of replying just to the sender. One of the more frequent complaints I see about Outlook is its Reply All functionality.
