Typically started by the misguided use of an email distribution list, sometimes initiated through a controversial comment shared through such a list. But what really keeps the train going are the ongoing responses using reply-all. By using reply-all, the distribution list gets included and the response is — once again — sent to everyone. And each response may be the trigger for the next person to write a response. There is your email storm. 2, record 1, English, - reply%2Dall%20email%20storm

Fléau bien connu depuis la généralisation de la communication par courriel dans les bureaux, les tempêtes de courriels «répondre à tous» surviennent lorsqu'un ou une internaute [...] envoie un message à l'ensemble de – ou à une part importante de – ses collègues. Toutes les réponses subséquentes sont également adressées à tout le monde, et dans les grandes entreprises, cela peut signifier des centaines ou même des milliers de courriels envoyés et reçus en peu de temps; des communications venant souvent de personnes qui demandent pourquoi elles reçoivent ces messages et si elles peuvent être retirées de la liste d'envoi. 1, record 1, French, - temp%C3%AAte%20de%20courriels%20%C2%ABr%C3%A9pondre%20%C3%A0%20tous%C2%BB
