Thanks, Peter.

Where do I find that URL?

Thanks Frances.

The way I would summarize your (helpful) answer is that every group comes with a URL named?/g/GROUPNAME/join. You can make this available in any website or email by simply creating a clickable link to that URL. On clicking the link the?user will be taken to a page that allows entry of an email address.

For example, anyone could insert such a link on the home-page description for their group. An example can be found on the home page for this group.

I do have a problem with this facility, though. You can enter an email address but there are no fields to add a screen name or first and last name. The text field does not accept a line of the form "Foo Bar <foo@...>" (without quotes, of course).

I will submit an RFE for this to the beta group.

mailto-links are widely considered bad practice. They only work when the person is on his/her own computer, and even if they are it may activate an email-program that they are not even using.
