Do you accidentally reply-all too often?

To change the default reply behavior in Gmail first click the Gear and then click Settings:

Then, in the General tab, scroll down to "Default reply behavior" and change the radio button to "Reply":

If you are using the Gmail app on an Android phone go to the "3 line" menu, then Settings -> General Settings.

There is a check box for reply-all on that screen that can be used to change the default reply-all behavior when using the app.
