    Default Reply all problem

    Ok so twice in the last 2 days friends have sent me messages that were group message types.

    One was an MMS (photo) that went out to 7 people one of whom was me.

    The other was a message to a large group announcing a new phone number and was sent to this large group to update us.

    In BOTH cases on my 9900 I clicked reply... not reply all.... and in BOTH cases others in the group received my replies.

    A) I don't like that as a matter of security/ privacy.
    B) I clicked reply, NOT reply all, so I don't get why it happen.
    C) I have searched in my device for a setting that will change this and NO JOY.

    Thoughts?

    Hey, what did you expect ?

    Seems logical to me, since groups are done for simultaneous distribution ...

    But why would a reply be logically sent to the entire group. Responses may not be pertinent to the group and or compromise something/ someone.

    What would seem intuitive is that "reply" (as is the case with an email) would only do to the author of the message and "reply all" would be you option should you want to share your response with the group.

    Just doesn't (to me anyway) seem like a good default setting. at a minimum it should be an option.
