Hello, I want to send a message to a large group, but I don't want them to be
able to "Reply All". I know if I us the "BCC" this will work, but I want the
group to know who has received the message. I just don't want a barage of
"Reply All" messages.

Is there a way to disable this function for a particular email? Do I need to
turn off and option before sending?

Is this possible, without using BCC?

Thanks -- Lost in Excel

An easy and fail proof way to prevent this from happening it to place all
the addresses in the BCC field.
To still inform them that the message has been sent to others, copy all the
addresses from the BCC field and paste them in the body of the message as an
FYI.

Thanks for the work around, and I will send out this way, but going forward,
is there a feature which allows you to disable the "Reply All" feature.

Thanks again.

No - it’s a feature of the mail client, not the email itself.
