Save yourself from a “Big R” CLM (Career Limiting Move) – Reply All Information and Confirmation Outlook Macro

Confessions of a Microsoft Consultant - Job/Life/Reputation protector 2.0

“Back in January I posted some simple VBA code for adding an “are you sure?” type question to the Reply To All button in Outlook.  Since then I have received a few suggestions for improving the code, one of the most common of which was to add to the question box the list of names that the mail will be sent to.  So, as requested, you can find below the updated code! 

Just place this code in a module in Outlook (you can get to the VBA editor by pressing ALT+F11) and then assign it a button on the toolbar

Disabling Reply All can be overkill, but sometimes you also want to sanity check your Reply All too. This little macro/VBA snip can help you with that.

Mix this with a delay sending rule (Outlook's 1-Minute Rule [Auto Defer Email Send for 1 Minute Rule]) and you may save yourself a little future hassle.
