Reply to All or Reply to Sender? You Decide

Have you ever been in the middle of a ‘Reply to All’ and realized that the message you’re writing has become too personal for all the recipients and should really just be going to the sender alone?  Or how about the opposite – you’re replying to just the sender and it dawns on you that you want this message to go to all the other recipients too?

If so, you’ll be happy to hear that Yahoo! Mail now provides you with a button in the compose header that helps in both of these scenarios!  You’ll no longer need to cut/copy the text of your draft into another message or manually add/remove recipients.  If you’re already doing a ‘Reply to Sender’, simply press the ‘Reply to All’ button to add the additional recipients of the original mail to your current message.  Similarly, the ‘Reply to Sender’ button will remove all recipients other than the original message’s sender.

The button is available next to the “TO” field in a compose when performing either the ‘Reply to All’ or ‘Reply to Sender’ action, provided there is more than one recipient that’s not you.

Sweet, huh?

We’re always working on ways to increase Yahoo! Mail’s usability and performance, as well as your productivity and efficiency.  I hope you enjoy the new feature!

Stay tuned for more, and thanks for using Yahoo! Mail!
