Re: seeing past members (premium groups)
Sara, I thought it was pretty clear that J was talking about activity in her group, by a former member of that group. The same information a moderator could see before the member left. Shal

JMichaelTX, You apparently have your Post Preference set to Markdown. I'm not sure how to do that in Groups.io's flavor of Markdown, or if you can. There's a link to follow which should lead you to

Re: seeing past members (premium groups)

" as I said, if the group's strip-HTML setting is set, then my gmail does not distinguish the quoted text in purple. I've surmised that's because groups.io"processes out" the '>' signs, leaving gmail

Thanks Shal for your comments. FWIW, I don't have the Normalize HTML Emails box checked. I've asked the member to identify which messages are causing him problems so we'll see what that reveals. John

Reply to Group in Digest Does Not add Reply to Topic
