What does the reply to all function do?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of the 'reply to all' function, which is commonly used in email applications to respond to all recipients of an email. This would involve understanding how this function differs from a regular reply function.
Answer
Sends a response to all recipients, including the sender.
The 'Reply to All' function sends a response to all recipients of the currently selected email message, including the sender.
Answer for screen readers
The 'Reply to All' function sends a response to all recipients of the currently selected email message, including the sender.
More Information
Using 'Reply to All' ensures that anyone who was part of the initial conversation thread, whether in the 'To' or 'Cc' fields, receives your reply. However, it doesn't include recipients who were Bcc'd in the original email.
Tips
Many people mistakenly use 'Reply to All' when it's unnecessary, which can clutter inboxes and overwhelm recipients. Always consider if every recipient needs to see your response.
