Shal,
I am with Julie on this one. When I read through Julie's issue, I was thinking about posts made via the web, and I also expected that moderating a reply would mean that nothing is sent anywhere before it is moderated.? My impression is that the Reply to Group and Sender is that the to Sender part is just an extra courtesy and serves to make it easier for people to communicate directly without the ongoing conversation being logged into the archives.
On the other hand, I can see where the Reply to Sender option should probably not be moderated.

Set Reply To to "Group" (without sender).

It isn't a preview, it is the reply sent directly from the replying
member's email service to the sender's. Groups.io is not involved in
that connection. Separately, Groups.io receives a copy of the reply and
holds it pending.
If you set Reply To Group then the original sender will have to wait to
see the reply, after it is approved, same as all the other members.
What the Reply To option does is put a header field in all outbound
messages that tells the members' email service where replies should go.
So when the receiving member clicks Reply in their email service, the
reply is directed to the Reply-To address(es) specified in the original
message.
(That's a little over-simplified: not all email interfaces obey the
Reply-To field properly. But those are more the exception than the rule
these days.)
