I agree - I had been chortling at the hapless recruiter for hitting
reply-all when she meant reply. I didn't realise that she'd actually hit
reply, in the pretty reasonable expectation that it would do the same thing
it does in (almost) every other circumstance.

While I hope I'd be alert enough to spot the error before sending if I'd
done the same, anyone I've worked with would agree that it's a 50/50 chance
at best, depending on day and mania-level.
