Gmail Reply-To-All Greasemonkey Script
July 6, 2008 – 5:57 pmEver mean to rebuke somebody over email but accidentally send it to a listserv or a list of listservs? Ever written an email like this? (completely modified to protect the guilty):
from [redacted]
to [redacted]
cc CBS-L@cornell.edu, CCFIV-L@cornell.edu, CHIALPHA-L@cornell.edu, COAH-L@cornell.edu, CRUSADE-L@cornell.edu, FCA-L@cornell.edu, GCF-L@cornell.edu, NAVS-L@cornell.edu, PRAYERVINE-L@cornell.edu
subject Re: [redacted]hey [redacted],
don’t send things to all the listservs. You should only do that when it’s relevant to everyone on the listserv
[redacted]
If so, then for the sake of the Gospel - and the rest of us - you should install this Greasemonkey script. Actually, even if you haven’t, you probably should install it anyway - it’s always good to think twice about who you send email to. It will bug you every single time you click “Reply to all” in Gmail, so you’ll never unwittingly send an email to 3000 people without meaning to.
0. You need Firefox. Get it here.
1. Go here and install Greasemonkey by clicking the green “Add To Firefox” button. It will let you install tiny little scripts to modify webpages. Restart Firefox.
2. Go here and click the black “Install This Script” box on the top right.

In the same vein, Better Gmail 2 has a good compilation of other GreaseMonkey scripts (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6076).
