Disable Reply to all with a twist!

This is a difficult one. I think?!

We have been asked to disable the "reply to all" button in Outlook. This is fine, it works using a GPO.
The trouble is that we would like to to disable the button on the toolbar but not menu item under "Actions".

The idea is to stop users that are clicking the button and replying a load of emails copied to a large distro group.

Any ideas welcome...
Thanks,

okay so the root issue is that you dont want them replying all to large DL's. Why not restrict the DL usage instead of outlook.

To edit the outlook form, you can select Tools, Forms, Design a form

Have look at Message. Not tried it, but you go to the action tab, you can disable Reply to All.

Thanks for your reponse.
The issue is that:

Some one sends an email about an issue that concerns all of the employees saying "Next Wednesday because of the inspection eveybody needs to stay until 18:30 rather than 18:00".
Somebody then quickly hits reply to all and sends back, saying "I can't need to pick up my child from school".

I don't have a problem with them sending to that DL if they need to.
I know that this should be user training, but I need a solution all the same.
