This, or something closely resembling it, should work as part of one's
emacs init file:
(defun rmail-reply-to-sender-only ()
"Reply to the sender of the current message.
Does not address the reply to any CC recipients.
While composing the reply, use \\[mail-yank-original] to yank the
original message into it."
(interactive)
(rmail-reply t))
(setq rmail-mode-hook (function (lambda ()
;; case-sensitivity for pointy-headed un*x weenies
(local-set-key "r" 'rmail-reply-to-sender-only)
(local-set-key "R" 'rmail-reply))))
[To avoid other sorts of embarrassment (of the kind which should be
experienced by people who CC info-gnu-emacs, for example) have your
site's customisation file include mailing lists to which one should
not normally automatically reply in `rmail-default-dont-reply-to-names'.]
