Method of warning if forwarding an email to somebody on the cc: list

Asked by mingano in Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , ,

I frequently run into a situation where an email is sent to two or more people, with the various email addresses in some combination of the to: and cc: lines.  Person A doesn't notice that person B has already received the same email and so forwards his copy to person B, thereby doubling the emails person B has received on this message.  Repeat this situation 100s of times a week and you can see the problem.

Is there a way to notify person A that he is about to forward a message to somebody who has already received it to at least give him notice that his action is unnecessary?Start Free Trial
