Re:Re:Re: Emails With great power comes great responsibility, the inside lid of a Snapple bottle once told us, and Feedback has often been struck by its sagacity. Never more so than on receipt of a group email where the list of addressees has been typed into the box marked Cc rather than Bcc. If you have been in such a situation yourself, with the opportunity of pressing "reply all" and clogging up the servers of a major organisation for the best part of an afternoon, and resisted the temptation, then, well, suffice it to say that you are a purer soul than we. Fortunately - or not, if you are of a similarly puckish persuasion -Microsoft has vowed to bring the era of Reply-All Storms to an end. According to a story in Gizmodo, its new Reply All Storm Protection software "detects possible reply-all screw-ups and essentially puts all recipients on a temporary time-out". If you are unsure whether your organisation has already adopted it, Feedback can think of one fool-proof method to find out.
