User education issue perhaps, rather than technical. As well as the
inconvenience of, say, an automatic block on "reply to all", there might
even be more accidents with mis-addressed e-mail in the long run.
Encouraging the practice of text editing in chains of correspondence could
help, although there might be a need to preserve audit trails of recipients
in a business context.
No-one ever seems to bother editing those repeatedly forwarded,
non-work-related, mass-circulation "jokey" e-mails, though. I once came
across (and deleted) a celebrity's address that way - no idea what the other
50 or so recipients did with it. Attractive prospect for e-stalkers,
possibly? Wait for the litigation to establish how "private" an e-mail
address is...
Personal views expressed etc.
