Stop replying to "reply-all" storms

When a company-wide email spirals into a reply-all thread, mute the conversation (right-click > Ignore or Mute in Outlook) so it stops filling your inbox without you missing anything important elsewhere. For persistent offenders, consider whether a distribution list needs "reply all" disabled at the admin level.

Coach's tip: if you're the one who needs to reply, reply to the original sender only unless everyone genuinely needs to see it.
