Reply to sender of group message, not entire group.
First of all are you talking about "traditional" distribution group, or an Office 365 group? It seems to be the latter, in which case simply right-click the message in Outlook and select the Reply option. In OWA, the Reply action is not available, so you have to select Reply All, then remove the group address.
There is no option to remove group address unfortunately in OWA
Thanks for replying.
Yep, Office 365 distribution groups. I have, however, now seen variable behaviour. Some accounts replies place the group in the To: field, while others place the sender's address there instead.
My concern is that without a prompt which asks who the reply should be sent to someone may divulge personal/sensitive information to the entire organisation. Yes, if everyone is diligent all the time this is not an issue, but when someone has been working flat-out all day, or is tired they may forget to check which address the reply is being sent to.
Our last mail client automatically detected if several addresses were present and would present a dialog allowing you to tick which address to use when replying. Easy and reassuring.
