Re: Allow groups.io messages to be more personal


 

I already said that I included all the information (as far?as I know) in my own message, which I expected would replace the officialese. There is nothing I saw in the documentation?that said that the procedure I followed would not work in the obvious way.

The documentation for formulating a Direct Add message does not state that the procedure described would not create a new message. As I already stated, it would be quite?possible for to include this information concisely in a required footer while allowing the actual message to be whatever the owner wishes.

And no, the Officialese does not have to be included at all. "Officialese" is a style of expression. What has to be included are certain?legal requirements which I stated fully (as far as I can see) in my own way.

You are quite right that I referred to the Welcome message in my original email. But I followed the instructions for creating my own Direct Add message, and again, there is nothing in those instructions to indicate that this procedure would not replace the existing Direct Add message.

I have already (above and earlier) suggested an improvement which would allow a full replacement to take place; namely, by concisely stating the bare minimum requirements concisely in a required?footer.

Based on most interpretations of worldwide law, the "officialese" has to come first so folks can easily leave if they want.? Of course, spammers don't pay any attention to minor things like laws.
