Your email program/provider created a copy in your Sent folder.
Yes, I stated and understand that.
Groups.IO does not have access to your mail folders on your PC or web mail so there's no way it can put a copy there.
Obviously
(and that's not something that can ever be done so please don't ask.)
Agreed. I wasn¡¯t asking that.
If the group is moderated, the post will not be visible on the web until after approved.
Yes, I stated and understand that.
What I meant, and apparently may not have been clear enough about is:
When I use the New Topic feature (because I did not send it through my email provider and of course do not have a copy of it in my Sent folder) it seems I do not (have a copy of it in my Groups.io group that I sent the message to, until and) only if my post is approved will it then appear as a New Topic.
So what I was asking is:
if (I use the New Topic feature) is there (a copy of my post somewhere in my Groups.io group that I sent the message to), (and if so) how can I find it?
