Bruce (or Mod.) Please clarify for me as I agree, the Reminder options are quite granular:
1. How are event reminders handled with respect to an individual's Subscription setting?
- I am seeing people receive a "30 minute prior to" a day late on low volume groups, the result of their Subscription setting. Time zones are set correctly.
Howard -- A #cal-reminder is not a notification...it is just another post to the group, with a hashtag.?Perhaps it *should* be a notification, I can see both pros and cons to that (see further below).
The message itself should post to the group message archive in a timely fashion, but the bottom line is that anyone signing up for digest delivery has actively forfeited their right to the timely receipt of group messages (via email).
2. How are Special Notices handled with respect to an individual's Subscription setting?
- Would this override a Subscription setting to send immediately?
I frankly didn't know, so I just tested this...and the "send as special notice" option does seem to force prompt delivery of a #cal-reminder to those subscribed with a digest. So I learned something today!
I do suggest polling your digest subscribers about this before going down that road. Some might take exception to this override.
