I get a lot of emails, and I send a lot of emails dail.
I almost always do #1. I'm a civil litigation paralegal, so I have to make sure I send certain emails to opposing counsel and often their staff so I can comply with the Rules of Civil Procedure. However, when I need to send an email that's worded carefully, I do #2 so I can mull over it. I'm copied on numerous emails between counsel, and there are times that I have to put in my two cents worth about it to my attorney(s), so I've gotten into the habit of forwarding the email to them, versus replying and taking off the other people for fear of having left one of them on. One of the attorneys I used to work with at a different firm did a reply all, and when I told him about it, he was like "oops," but at least it wasn't bad.
LOL, Jill!!
