I often see these admonitions but I think they would be more effective if they came with specific details about how to avoid this faux pas.
I am not disputing the global caution about inadvertently resending long email chains. It's just that it appears particularly easy for that to happen on Bee-L using the native Reply or reply icon functions.
Does it happen more commonly if you use the Reply function that comes up via the hamburger icon on top on the the upper right, or is it more likely if you use the pen icon that appears just under printer icon next to the individual message?
This has perplexed me for years going back to when I haplessly fell afoul of it once or twice and couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. (To be clear Aaron told me what I had done, but I couldn't figure out how I had done it on some specific posts, but not others.)
And more to the point, if it's such a big deal, why is it still technically possible for it to happen? If clicking on any obvious reply function causes such a problem, why not fix it so it can't happen?
There has always been a somewhat brusk tenor on this forum and I think having inscrutable ways to mess up adds to that chill. I doubt anybody who goes to the trouble to add a comment deliberately sets out to offend.
FWIW, I use AOL as a browser, so maybe it's different in different browsers.
