replying to yahoo groups?

I've just started using outlook 2003 and I can't work out how to reply to group lists like yahoogroups. If I hit reply it goes to the sender and not the group, if I hit reply all it goes to the group and the sender and needs editing every time to remove the extra email addresses.

In my old client I had a reply to list button that used only the email address of the list. Where is the same function in outlook? It must be here somewhere but I just can't find it. Any help will be very much appreciated

Sounds like the messages you're replying to are missing the "Reply-To"
header that would tell Outlook to reply to the list. The yahoogroups that
I'm in all have these, so reply works just as you want it to. The problem
lies with the groups you're in, not with Outlook. [BTW, I'm not sure how a
"reply to list" button would work in an email program - there's no way to
tell a list address from an individual address. Perhaps you were using
Web-based access to the groups? That would know what group you were in.]

Ah! I see what you mean. The To field has both the list address and a user address.

In my old client it takes only the first email address in the to field if I click the post button and ignores others. (It does both email and newsgroups) Outlook doesn't do that. Can I make a rule for this? That replies in this folder go only to the list email address or only to the first email address in the to field

Many Thanks
 
No, you'll just have to delete the addresses you don't want.
