The only way I can figure this out is, the first request may have been deleted by the prospective member.

The issue that I am raising is that I would like the groups.io web
interface to also render such markdown plain text emails properly.

Just to clarify, I disabled html email in my group, as I only want
plain text emails.

To provide private email service would increase server load and storage costs, and the current funding approach might become unsustainable.

I'm pretty sure the only private messages currently retained are invitations/direct add notices (via the activity log) and +owner messages (via the corresponding button on the subscriber's page). And an argument could be made that such messages are not really "private," inasmuch as they are accessible to all Moderators, and individuals can be rotated in and out of those positions.

I am incredulous that groups.io does not save any PMs.

Thanks, Bruce; good to hear from you; I figured you'd jump right in. :^)? I did look for a draft. No joy.
Thanks, Chris. I also did look at the Activity Log. No luck there, either.
And thanks, Bob. I had already considered, based on this and previous experiences with both groups.io and Yahoo, that future messages will be composed in Word and pasted in. I am incredulous that groups.io does not save any PMs.

Hi Shal,

But if I create a new message by sending an email, the markdown is not properly rendered ( example ( /g/lfortran/message/3 ) ).

Is there a way to enable markdown to always render, no matter if the message was created online or from an email?

I don't think so, not in general. There is a hint of maybe if you use the right email client in Mark's reply to my message, beta #1299 ( ) , so many years ago. Also there was this request ( beta #6155 ( ) ). Those topics are locked now, but you could always bring it up again in beta.

There's also Markdown Here ( ) , which handles the conversion from markdown to HTML before you send the message, basically the same thing the Groups Web Poster does. I don't know if it has kept up with the changes in how Firefox/Thunderbird plugins work though.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, I disabled html email in my group, as I only want plain text emails. Yes, email clients can be configured to display markdown plain text emails as rendered in html. The issue that I am raising is that I would like the groups.io web interface to also render such markdown plain text emails properly.

I will ask at beta.

Thanks, Ondrej

Hi,

I am new to groups.io. When I create a new message online, the markdown is properly rendered (example). But if I create a new message by sending an email, the markdown is not properly rendered (example).

Is there a way to enable markdown to always render, no matter if the message was created online or from an email?

Thanks, Ondrej
