Q: Is there a way to encode a new rule into Outlook that prohibits anyone from using “Reply All” to send a message to the group that is nothing more than “Thank you” or variants? We need to put a stop to this mass-ack silliness.

Warmly,

Like Tim Tebow in overtime, your prayers have been answered.  Follow the link below to download and install the NoReplyAll Outlook Add-In, which at your command disables the Reply-All, Reply and/or Forward functionality for any Exchange recipients  (within your Exchange organization) of a message you send from Outlook. Once installed you’ll have to restart Outlook for the Add-In to load, but the controls for this will sit right on the tool ribbon in Outlook 2007/2010, just begging you to deny the peasants their Reply-All joy.
