Please no. As it's a destructive operation that you can't easily work around in email clients. Trimming recipients is doable.

Then we need a cultural shift to get people to trim more, because I got two copies of your email, which show together in a thread even when I filter email separately.

Also, some guidance on who to trim and when. I count 7 people who *could* be in the reply list for this message if it hadn't been trimmed (Rokas, George, Larry, Tim, Lynn, Christian, Derick); I have no idea who is interested in getting a duplicate notification of this reply, so tend to assume that the polite thing is to trim all of them.

The mail client can't detect whether I'm the intended "direct" recipient of a single email within a large thread. Especially not if I didn't previously participate in it, but someone wants my opinion or expertise.

That's actually a good argument for *not* using Reply All by default, because as the person *sending* the message, deciding when to *add* you as a direct recipient is considerably easier than deciding when to *remove* you. Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
