Is there any way to enable people using the group via the site, as opposed to by email, to choose either to send a particular message to the group or to sender? Looking under settings I couldn't find a way to offer both these options as an either or by default. I tried "group and sender" but the result was that the group got the message and the sender got it twice. Otherwise it's just "group" for all mails or "sender" for all mails. And it doesn't seem possible either to delete the group address and physically type in the sender's address before sending, since @groups.io is a permanent fixture.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, there is a button marked "Private" at the bottom right of the text entry box for replying privately to the sender.

Maybe, if the default setting is Reply To Group.? If the group is set to Reply to Sender, the button will say Group Reply.? Neither button will show if the Remove Other Reply Options is checked in the Message Policies section of Settings.

Trista -- Toby and Duane are both correct, assuming you haven't disabled it.

To set it up:

-- Go to Admin>Settings>Message Policies. Using the pull-down menu, set the group default "Reply To" setting to whichever you want (group OR sender, for reasons you've encountered I don't recommend both).
-- UNcheck the "Remove Other Reply Options" checkbox immediately below.
-- Consider scrolling down to Message Formatting and clicking "Force HTML Emails." This is required to ensure all the desired mailto links will appear in every message footer.
-- Scroll to the bottom and click "Update Group."

The group default reply setting (whichever one you established) will be automatically applied if:

-- Via email, the subscriber clicks "Reply" in their email client, or
-- Online, the subscriber clicks the "Reply" button below the original message.?

If a subscriber wants to override this and send a private message in a "reply-to-group" group (or vice versa):

-- Via email, click on the corresponding footer link, or
-- Online, click the "greyed-out" button at lower right of the message editor window to toggle to the other option.

I had replied before that if you are reading the group messages from your e-mail account and want to reply to sender there are some choices in blue at the bottom of the message. You have to click on the Reply To Sender before typing, cannot do it afterward.
Seems like this is ideal, since it is for a case-by-case option.
I don't understand why you would want all messages, via the settings, to go only to sender.
If everyone did that the Group would have no messages.

I can reply via the group and use the private button, but all my other mail messages are via my e-mail which is really a Yahoo mail. This is the only Group that I read from the Group and respond from the Group.

Richard,

It may have plenty of messages, just no replies. Not all groups are about conversations.

One type of group that customarily operates this way are groups devoted to giving away unneeded items (Freecycle, Freegle, etc.). There a member posts an offer in the group, but all replies, which typically include personal contact info, go to the sender only.
