When I hear these stories, I wonder why the boneheads writing the original don't just put the distribution list in BCC. Reply-All neutered.
In a recent experience, I Replied to All (in BCC) to explain how BCC works and all the replies to my email stayed off the list.

- jsjohnst 8y agoSetup your filters correctly and that’s not an issue. “From” is rarely the right header to use for an email list filter.
- michaelcampbell 8y agoThis doesn't even make sense; a filter that filters on From: wouldn't detect the sender having used a bcc:. To: is more the issue here.
- jsjohnst 8y agoI meant to say To, my mistake there. That doesn’t negate my point, almost all mailing lists include a List-ID and/or other similar fields. That’s included even when the list was bcc’d and is what you should be filtering on, not the To: field. Gmail even uses it automatically when you click on a message from a mailing list and click “filter messages like this”.
