This is why I suggested what I did about messages going to the original poster, as it is a round about process to get a person's personal email address. It is with Windows Live Mail anyway. I have to actually go through the process of adding a person to my address book in order to see the text field with their email address. Then I copy and paste that email into a reply to that person. That isn't as difficult as some have to do it, but it can still be a pain.

Is there an efficient way to get a senders email address to reply directly to them?

Currently, the several step process I follow is below. Admittedly, it's not excessive, but if there was a key combination, such as Ctrl-Shift-R (just guessing) it might be quicker, easier, and more likely to be used.

Now, the steps I follow when on my PC are:

1. Shift-tab back from the message to the From field.
2. Highlight the text with a Control-UpArrow (JAWS)
3. Copy the  From text to the Clipboard
4. Initiate a Reply message.
5. Paste the copied address text in the Reply message area.
6 Edit the pasted text from the From line in the original message, to get only the person's email address.
7. Highlight and cut edited email address.
8. Shift-tab back to the SendTo field
9. Paste senders email address
10. Tab to the message area to write my Reply
11. Send message to original Sender.

Hello all. It's about that time again to remind people that thank you
messages sent to the list are considered off topic. This is because if
you want to show your gratitude to the person who gave you the answer to
life, the universe, and everything, it's best sent to that person
directly rather than to the entire list. If there are 1400 members on
list, and you are one of them, that leaves 1399 members. If you are
sending a thank you message for 1 or 2 people, then over 1300 members
are getting blasted with this kind of message and it just adds to the
already high traffic on list. Yes, I agree that saying thank you is a
form of politeness, and considering some of the messages of late on
whether to tip or not, it's painfully obvious that some list members
still act like children, but still, please send your thank you, I agree
messages, or similarly worded ones, directly to the sender when warranted.

Thank you!
