Re: Received daily digests before subscription was approved

This is a bug. I am not a member of a group until membership approval takes place, and I should not receive digests before that.I can't reconstruct the problem, but I agree. I recently experienced a different problem with digest delivery (ref:?), but haven't been able to replicate that, either. I'm now wondering if these may have arisen in association with a recent (Feb 28) change in timing of digest delivery (ref:?). In any event, I agree with Duane that someone who has actually experienced this should be the one to report it.? Regards, Bruce |

Re: Received daily digests before subscription was approved
My test is completed.? When attempting to join a restricted group with private archives, no digest was sent.? I suspect that the groups that EJP joined have public archives, so not a data leak.? As others have mentioned, I think this should still be considered a bug.? It would be best if someone that's experienced the anomaly reported it on the beta group so they could furnish any other details of the process.

I am trying to better understand how calendar permissions for modifying events work between the different levels. Looking on the help page, I do not even see the work Calendar mentioned. From what I understand, there are 4 levels of access: public, member, moderator, and owner. As far as modifying an event, there is no difference between a moderator or an owner. Public can have either view access or no access. What I'm not sure about is the different access permissions between members that can edit and moderators.
As a regular member, I have permission to edit events on this particular calendar. There are event created by moderators, but I cannot modify them in any way. Is this always the case? And also, creating events as a regular member, can other members modify my event? I would expect that moderators always can. There is also a button that allows me to lock an event. What does that do exactly? - Loren |

Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email
Yes, Chris, I have now disabled uploading of photos. We don't have such albums anyway, at least for now. Unless my other owner just disabled attachments, it had already been set to strip them. So, if it had been set to strip them before, it didn't in the case of embedded pictures. It might be stripping attached pictures with links to them, but not embedded.

Re: Can't find a way to disallow photos in email
OK, with photos disabled, attachments stripped (as before), an email with an embedded picture comes through with a bounding box where the picture would be, showing the alternate text inside, that would be displayed in a text-only situation. I am using Thunderbird to send the email, and it has an option to embed a picture. If the picture is attached, but not embedded, the link shown basically is an empty page. If the photo is a link whose picture is not attached to the message (hence an ordinary hyperlink), then that link works, no photo is embedded. So I think the combination of no photos with attachments stripped will do it.
