Re: Replying to messages on Web page

Thanks Bruce, I¡¯ll just have to tell people who are replying via the site, instead of via email notifications, to highlight the text of the message they are replying to before starting their reply.
I understand the bloat problem but we practice snipping if needed, well we do on Yahoo but, we often need a full history in a message for people that can¡¯t follow completely and also to report elsewhere too and we can get a lot of replies on some subjects and the support queries we deal with.

Oh well lets hope people remember to quote what they are replying to lol

Many thanks for replying

So bottom line, after all that waffle lol, is how do I make sure if anyone is replying on the web page the previous message they are replying to is also included on the page and also in mail notifications, without them having to copy it and use block quote so all users, be it mail notification only or web only can follow newer replies and know what bit of the thread the message refers to?
Wanda -- There is no group setting that will allow you as an Owner to enforce your own quoting rules.
As you noted, (unlike Yahoo) Groups.io does not automatically quote the previous message thread upon clicking the Reply button. This behavior in Yahoo was felt to promote over-quoting and message bloat, and it was better to leave it up to the person posting the reply to decide how much quoting is necessary to provide context.
Note that if you highlight some text with your mouse before hitting the Reply button, that text will be carried over as a quote in the message composition window (that's how I did the quote above). See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Message-composition-tips-and-tricks?for some other ideas that might make quoting online easier for you.?
Hope this helps,
Bruce
