The Canadian Kilometer Achiever Program, C-KAP is on a Yahoogroups mailing list which when "reply" is used it sends the message to the group and not the sender. This set up has it's problems also as it shows the sender and you think you are replying to that person but all get to read your message which, sometimes could cause a little distress. The same fix would apply, reply to all and delete the one you do not want the message to go to. If you want it to go to the group you would delete the sender so he would not get it twice.
