  • Entry 280: Most Irritating Thing About New Gmail

    Was about to post this on the Gmail suppot feedback page:

    The most irritating thing about the new Gmail is that I can no longer set my emails to "reply-all". Must have been 20 times that I had to resend emails to the larger group because I hit the "reply" button by accident, without selecting more. Usually "reply is a safeguard at work" but most people don't work at Google and most use Gmail as their personal email client, not work. I don't think you're doing many favors having "reply to 1" be the default. At least bring back the settings option to change. Thanks.

    But then found the solution. Settings -> Labs tab -> search for "reply". Hit enable default reply-all.
    So instead I'm sending them similar feedback, but with the last three sentences replaced with this:
     
    I found the fix via the forum, but it would be nice for it to have been readily available in settings.

    Sometimes we need to just vent about tech issues, even if a solution to them exists out there in the world.
