I think the default for replies to a particular yahoo group must
depend on the group's settings. 

One yahoo group I'm subscribed is my local Freegle [0] group, and
replies there go only to the member who sent the message to which I am
replying. 

Other yahoo groups have replies set to the group address, but since
May 2014 they present the address of the incoming message as:-

DISPLAY NAME <[email protected]> 
where DISPLAY NAME is the sender's address followed by [group name]:-
[email protected] [group name] <[email protected]>. 
So that the To line of the reply becomes:-
"[email protected] [whatevergroup]" <[email protected]>.
Note the quotes. That first bit "[email protected] [whatevergroup]"
is just a display name, not an address to whichthe email is being 
sent. 

If you don't like that format, there would be several ways to alter it 
with macros. For example:-
%SETHEADER("To", "%OFROMADDR")%-
or
%TO="%OFROMADDR"%-  
(I'm not sure if the second version needs the quotes.)
