When you want to reply to @emph{all} recipients of a message, you can use
@t{mu4e-compose-wide-reply}, bound to @kbd{W}. This is often called
``reply-to-all'', while Gnus uses the term ``wide reply''.
If you want to reply to @emph{all} recipients of a message, there is
@code{mu4e-compose-wide-reply}, by default bound to @kbd{W}. This is often
called ``reply-to-all'', but @t{mu4e} follows the Gnus terminology ``wide
reply''.

By default, the reply will cite the message being replied to. If you do not want
that, you can set (or @t{let}-bind) @t{message-cite-function} to
@t{mu4e-message-cite-nothing}.
