Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Brian, I agree if the target "we" is all of Groups.io, meaning that I don't think the service needs to provide that level of Email 101 tutorial. Nor would I necessarily list that as a "best practice"

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Louise, My basic contention is that if users are educated about the availability of a mark/unmark as spam feature and whitelisting in general terms, and what those are about, that would be sufficient.

I am not able to tell from your email, Brian, as I received it on my iPhone, which part quotes Shal and where your message begins. Not sure whether that is the fault of my iPhone but I am not sure

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Jeff, Thanks for sharing that research! You've turned up some interesting results, and with a group as large as yours the statistics should be more broadly applicable than what I could learn from any

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I have to say that I can only partially agree with this, as I don't think what an end user needs to know has much of anything to do with what's going on "under the hood." Most e-mail clients and web

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
J, Brian, I think the issue is what the users need to be educated about. And that varies with the email service they're using as well as the interface they use to access that service. Desktop web

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I think both things are happening. Email services like aol, yahoo, etc., quarantine messages into a spam folder, and it would help to educate the user to check that folder with some regularity since

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I think it depends on the technology you use. Sometimes it¡¯s not so easy. I can only move emails out of spam to the relevant inbox when using my iPhone or I can delete them if they really are spam.

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Brian, In that sense I agree. But when Jeff says the user "marked a message as spam" and follows that by saying they have to be better trained, it sounds to me as if he's implying that the user

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I'll have to disagree that this is not a user education issue.? Automatic spam classification is not new. You'd think by now people would know about the need to declassify messages automated as spam

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I'm not sure the answer is "user training." My impression is that these users are not themselves marking the messages as spam. It's the email programs that are doing it, which makes the situation even
