I am constantly having to send 'chaser' emails to staff who don't reply to my original request.
Instead of clicking on 'Forward', and then copying and pasting the original recipients into the new email, I'd like to have a 'Chase' button which would address the email to the same recipients as the original
email.
Options such as "Chase Recipient Only" and "Chase all" would address the email to either the recipient or also people who were CC'd respectively.
Dull but handy.

Yes, I could use this for invoices sometimes. [+] I'd want to be able to configure it with decreasingly polite reminder auto-text, ranging from "Dear X, I hope all's well with the latest project - I know you're very busy, but I was just wondering about the ETA for this payment..." through to *** <we apologize for the unavailability of this text, due to a smouldering hole in the middle of your page. We recommend that you action the attached item before your monitor dies of shame and your printer catches fire> *** |

I love it, and would use it often. Submit it for inclusion in the next version of Thunderbird. (+) |

I am chasing down your bun. |

The enthusiastic comments lead me to believe that this does something more than the "Reply to all" button does, but I'm unable to see what. |
|
| |
"Reply to all" works for mail received, not mail sent. |
|
| |
"Reply to all" does work for sent mail (in Lotus Notes at least), but it would send the email to me as well, because I was the original sender. That's not the end of the world, admittedly... |
|

Exactly. To follow-up mail which I have sent - whether as a chase or as 'Oh, I forgot something' - I open the item from my 'sent' box, and reply to all, removing my name from the addressees before sending. |
|

Okay. Works in Outlook, too. Guess I've just never run into the problem. |
|
| |
+ I like it and I don't think any halfbaked invention should be marked *dull but handy*! |

Reply All, as noted: you just need to remove your own name, a simple enough task. |
|
| |
I like. Going "reply to all" and removing your name leaves an intolerable mess wherein everybody remaining is in the Cc field. The original structure of who it was sent to, and who it was copied to is lost. |
|
| |
I do a lot of ctrl-x, ctrl-v rejigging because of this, at least once daily. (For some reason, people tend not to reply to my emails). |
|
| |
Sometimes I wish I could give an idea 2x buns. This would be just such an occasion. |
|
| |
Cool idea that gets you my croissant, but why name it "chase all" instead of a simple "resend to all"? |
