People can reply from their email or from the group.

The owner can allow group members to reply directly to one member on the group interface. Or disallow it.

Lots of tweaks possible!

A couple of suggestions -

Disallow No Mail. For that option, use Special Notices Only. This means you can send out a broadcast email when necessary and all members will get it.

Consider about privacy. You can't go from private messages / message archive to public messages.

Stephanie,

(I assume I need to pay and then direct add, but is that easy for a
non-tech person, because if not, I’m probably better off with the
basic invite, but that’s a lot of work.)

It is pretty easy. Frances' links show the way. Direct Add and Invite are nearly identical in how you use them, differing primarily in whether the addressee needs to take an action (reply or click a link, for Invite) or not (for Direct Add).

2. In yahoogroups, when a member replies to an email, the member can
either select reply or reply all like for all standard emails.

Actually, in Yahoo Groups, as here, the behavior of the user's Reply or Reply All function depends in part on the group's setting. Where confusion arises is with the behavior of various members' email interfaces, which vary in how they use the content of the To, CC, From, Reply-To, and other fields in forming a Reply or a Reply All (or a Reply List).

For Groups.io the "Reply To" selection in the Message Policies panel of your group's Settings page. It controls the insertion of a Reply-To field in the outgoing messages.

A common choice, used here in GMF, is "Group". The simple Reply function in (most) members' email interface will form a reply directed to the group's posting address.

If your group sets Reply To to "Sender" then Groups.io will either not insert a Reply-To field or will insert one that directs the Reply function to the posting member's address (for reasons). For the most part this will let the member's email interface behave as a "standard email" in the way you seek.
