What is the best way to respond to an email sent to a group by Replying to the sender and CCing all recipients other than myself?
I get many emails as a member of a group, and often want to reply to the sender and CC the other recipients. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible to CC all, delete my email address from the list, and add the sender’s email in the Reply box. What is the best way to achieve the addressing I want.

Most of the standard selection methods work in the address fields: "select all" menu option, control-a (commmand-a on Macintosh), shift-click, control-click (command-click on Macintosh).
These methods work almost everywhere on a computer. If you do not know them, you'll want to learn them.
For shift-click, control-click, and command-click: click on one address to select it, then press and hold the modifier key while clicking on another address, etc.
The best method is probably to select all addresses, then control-click (command-click on Macintosh) to de-select the sender's address, then drag the other addresses into the "cc:" field.

Hi Chris,
- "Reply all"
- Select the addresses that you want to move from "to:" to "cc:" using various selection methods and drag them in one step to the "cc:" field.
Thanks for that, but I haven't found a way to select all but one address. Chris

Works a treat, thanks. I wasn't familiar with control-click.
