When I reply to all my name (email address) is added to the message. How can
I stop this so I am not sending messages to myself?
Reply To All does what it says. Since you are part of All then the
Reply To All includes you. You will need to remove your e-mail address.
Or you could define a rule that handles e-mails sent by yourself that
are received by yourself (i.e., use a rule that looks for e-mails that
have you as the sender). After all, you could have multiple e-mail
addresses for yourself and Outlook wouldn't know which one was yours.
In fact, what is listed in the To/Cc headers is NOT what gets used in
specifying the recipients of an e-mail. It's just what the sender's
e-mail client put in the header section of their message which is data
the sender wanted there. Ever get an e-mail that did not have you in
the To/Cc headers? There is no guarantee that you are listed in those
headers in order to receive e-mail that specifically targets your
mailbox. So in doing what the function says, in that you could have
multiple e-mail addresses not all of which may be listed in Outlook, and
because the To/Cc headers used in deciding the recipients for Reply-To-
All were not actually used in specifying the original list of
recipients, I'm not sure just how Outlook is supposed to guess at which
particular e-mail address that it should exclude.
By the way, do you have permission from each recipient to share their
e-mail address with everyone else? The original sender assumed so or
didn't care but their faux pas doesn't mean you should do the same. If
this is some mailing list to which each recipient has overtly subscribed
then they did give permission to use and share their e-mail address.
Don't know what is the e-mail that you are replying all.
