It seems that when I hit "Reply" it defaults to reply all.  Is there any way
to change this?  I see the "You are currently replying to ALL recipients.
Click this box to reply to the original sender instead" in dimp's compose
window, but my users shouldn't always have to click this.

And this is almost certainly what is wanted. Replying must be analyzed from the point of view of the ORIGINAL sender of the message. He/she believed the message was appropriate/pertinent to send to a group of people. Thus, a response to the email thread needs to, likewise, go to all members of that group. If you want to send a personal message (i.e. breaking the thread), you need to EXPRESSLY indicate that intention.

Thus, we have no plans for making this configurable. You can alter the code as you wish on your installation, of course.

What about this: add another button between Reply and Forward that says "Reply To All", then default the Reply to just reply to the user (breaking the thread). That is what Outlook and Thunderbird have, for what it's worth, and removes a certain amount of ambiguity on the end-users part. I think the primary reason is that the button says "Reply" and in Outlook/Thunderbird, that means "reply to the sender only". I believe this is what is causing the confusion and has caused more than one faux paus among the Horde mob.
