Tim,

>>> Would changing the group's Reply settings to "Group and Sender" address this

No.? Refer to the links Duane posted for more in depth info, but TL:DR, it looks like you have the "Plain Text Only" setting checked in the group's Message Policies settings, if you also check the "Force HTML Emails" option as well you'll then be able to still get a clean-looking group message sent out as before but the HTML footers will now be used at the end of the message (instead of what you're seeing now, the limited text-only footers).? The HTML footers are more functional and also include a "Reply to Sender" link.

Cheers,
Christos

Thanks for the link! The DMARC explanation kind of makes sense, although it means that non-tech-savvy users are going to hit reply-to-sender and have their message go into the bitbucket. (They *might* notice the "undeliverable mail" response, they might not.) So it seems like there's a gap here in Groups.io's functionality.

I'm not sure what you mean about the footer. In the mailing list I manage, I just see a "View/Reply Online" line. Is there something missing from the plaintext mail (which is what I get, and I vague recall a thread on this...)? And is the idea that for some people I have to reply using the web client rather than my usual email client?

For myself, I can just use Reply To Sender and then edit the To line to be the real email address. But I'm concerned that the users on my neighborhood mailing list are just having messages go missing, and won't notice or know what to do about it. , without causing duplicate mail or other issues?
