How to not Reply-All to Yourself

By: standss , Feb 26th, 2013

Reader Question: Outlook includes my email address in the To field when I do a Reply-All. Clearly I do not want to email myself but Outlook lacks the intelligence to not add my email address to the email. Do you have a solution?

YES. This functionality is built into Send Guard for Outlook. You can turn it on from the settings screen using the following steps:

  • Open Outlook
  • In Outlook 2010/2013, click on the Standss Outlook Addins tab > click SendGuard > Settings In Outlook 2007/2003, click on the Tools menu > Standss > SendGuard > Settings

SendGuard will display the following screen:

Reply Guard settings

  • Click on the Reply Guard tab
  • Tick the checkbox for Automatically remove me when doing a Reply to All
  • Click OK

Now if you do Reply-to-All on any email, SendGuard will automatically remove your email address from the mailing list.

If you haven’t tried Send Guard for Outlook, you can download a fully functional trial of the Outlook addin.

SendGuard has a number of special filters that check outgoing emails to ensure that they are going to the correct people with all the required information. It’s built in tools include the Attachment Guard, Subject Guard, Reply (and Reply All) Guard, Account Guard, Bad Mood Guard and Send Confirm.

  1. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
