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.
