I'm sure it depends on your email system, but in my case, I just mouse over the original sender's name (indicated in the CC) and a little box appears that includes the sender's email address. Mouse over that address and click on it, and you'll be writing an email to that person and not the whole list.

Why do we still have to bother with this rubbish? Let’s make it out of the 20th century.
I’ll donate $5k if get off this ridiculous platform and use something more accessible to all.

Every message I receive has the list address in the To field and in the CC field the email address of the sender. My two choices are reply and reply list. If I hit reply the message goes sender <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> and if I hit reply to the list it goes pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net . I was fooled a couple of times when I hit reply thinking I was replying privately since it has the person's name listed, but after it was <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> so it was instead going to the list. Either choice ends up the same. So what I have to do is to copy the address in the CC heading. Then when I hit reply, I have to delete what is automatically in the To field and paste instead the address I copied from the CC field in the original email in the To field. Then it will go directly to that person.
