Beginning today, any Gmail user who attempts to reply-all to an email where they were blind copied will be greeted with a yellow banner warning them of the unintended disclosure. Google announced the change in a recent blog post, emphasizing that this alert will be visible to all users starting immediately. The feature is designed to help avoid embarrassing situations where a person's email address is inadvertently exposed to a larger group of people.",
