Why is there always a "Reply to All" function in Email services, yet never a "Forward to All" function?

Question

I don't see it on MS Outlook, Yahoo, etc. What gives? It's annoying. Forwarding to multiple addresses should have as much priority as replying.

Answer 1

Because when you forward you can choose the addresses to send it to. As many as you like and it really is simple.



Whereas, reply to all means replying to everyone already included in the message...not everyone in your address book.



Press 'reply all' and manually delete the senders e-mail. But why forward a letter to other recipients if they have already recieved the letter from the original sender?

Answer 2

not in the business world.

email among a group of people would use a reply to all, so that everyone in the email could read the reply.



the reply (not to all) would only reply to the sender of the email you received.



forward means to send an email to people who have not already received that email.



when you click the forward button, simply type multiple email addresses in the to: or cc: or bcc: field



to forward to all, simply create a group in your email client with all your contacts. Then hit forward, and choose that group.

Answer 3

"Reply To All" sends a message back to everyone on the original message. Forwarding is when you want to send it to a new person, who wasn't part of the original. It would be impossible for the program to automatically know who you want to forward it to.



If you want to forward things to everyone in your address book, you can make a new group, containing all of your contacts, then just type in the group name when you are forwarding, versus typing in each individual. That can definitely save a lot of time - there just aren't a lot of people who forward things to everyone in their address book.

Answer 4

Forward to all who? The entire internet?



Reply to all means send a new message to everyone who received the first one. Why would you forward the same message back to people who already have it?

Answer 5

If there are lot of emails together in one email (like when people forward messages), you can either REPLY TO ALL of those messages or just the first one.

Answer 6

I have no clue, the old Yahoo set up had the option in your adress book to select everyone. Not the new one though. Good question.

Answer 7

you comprehend, Vicki talked about an same element; apparently they are all in simple terms what you suggested--junk mail. She had junk mail, plus a ton of invites from human beings from different international places. I in simple terms use classic Yahell e mail, so i don't believe of there is the form of tab in my e mail.

Answer 8

u can normally go in2 your contacts and select all and then send it
