ms outlook replying to emails

Guest

If an email is received and that email was sent to one or more people (To),
and one or more people
were copied in (Cc), and that emails is replied to, often some or all of the
Cc addresses are copied
into the To address bar along with the Original To addresses.
Ideally, when replying only the sender or the original To list should be
placed in the To address bar
with the Cc list remaining in the Cc address bar.
Is this something that can be changed or is it a quirk of the software?

Thanks Eusebio

That should be kept intact when pressing Reply to All. Other mail clients
could behave differently or users could also be pressing Reply and manually
re-addressing it.

Yes that is what I thought but it is not the case unfortunately and I can not
figure out why. I have not seen this happen in outlook 2k3 or 2k7 but it
happens in 2k and no ms support pages about it. Probably will have to
reinstall office to make it behave normally again. Thanks for replying Roady.

I can't really remember Outlook 2000 behavior on this (too long ago). It
could be that it just dumped everything in the To line. Recent mail clients
should respect the lines now.

Outlook 2000 does respect the To and CC lines if you press the Reply to All
button. Perhaps the sender is not pressing Reply to All and manually typing
in the recipients?

Thanks for confirming the correct behavior of Outlook 2000. Pressing the
Reply to All button is kinda crucial indeed ;-)
