Re: Email Address showing

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Loopy,


In the last week or 2, mail I send through my?IO group?is coming from 'Loopy Via Groups.Io'.? It has always come? just showing 'Loopy' so what is?this via business?

That's how some email interfaces show when a message is passed through a mailing list. It is telling the recipient that your message was delivered to his/her service by , rather than directly from your email service.


Nothing has changed in my group or in my personal info so how do I get rid of this?

I don't think you can get rid of it.

It seems that your email service has published a DMARC policy of quarantine - which is causing Groups.io to rewrite the From address in messages you post. This wasn't true six months ago (the last time you posted in GMF) so perhaps this is the recent change you are noticing.

Or maybe your email service published that DMARC policy some time ago, and your email interface made a recent change to now show the "via" information.

I can see why they might not be visible if set to Strip or Bounce. However, if they are really invisible when set to Moderate, that strikes me as a bug.

I can think of no reason why you should not be present. Go to Admin>Members. On the resulting screen, pull down the blue "Members" menu at top left and select "Moderators." With the list of records thus restricted you should be able to find yourself.

If you cannot get to Admin>Members then you either don't have Owner permissions or you aren't logged in.

Hope this helps,

Re: Owner not showing up on member list

 

Maureen,


I am the owner of a group.? Why do I not show up on the member list?

If you're looking at the Members list of a subgroup, you may be an implicit owner of the subgroup, rather than formally a member of it. If you want to see yourself in the subgroup, go to the primary group and find yourself in the Subgroups page (the one in your primary group's Admin pages). Put a checkmark in your row, in the column for that subgroup.

If you're looking at the Members list of a primary group, then I'm not sure how you could be missing, unless you're not looking for the address under which you actually own the group.

Owner not showing up on member list

 

I believe I have seen this issue discussed here before, but I come up with nothing when I do a message search.? I am the owner of a group.? Why do I not show up on the member list?

Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.

 

Lily,

[Reason: found actual cause]


LOL. I guess I missed that possibility.

However, when set to Bounce, Strip, or Moderate, the Emailed Photos Album is not displayed, although the attachments storage still shows the same size.
Is this a bug to be fixed, or an expected behavior?

Good question.

I'm sure the storage remains the same because the images are not retroactively deleted when you change the setting. And I would argue that they shouldn't be.

However I think it would be fair to call this a bug, because the Emailed Photos Album ought to be shown whenever it is not empty, rather than being hidden by control of the group setting.

Re: off-list message to the member

 

Don,


What is an "off-list?message"?


A message that was not posted to the group. Or more specifically a message to one or more group members that is not posted to the group as a whole.

?
how do you send?

?
There are several ways.

As moderator or member, if you've collected the email address of the desired member(s) in your email interface you can of course send messages directly to them off-list rather than sending to the group's posting address.

The following on-site methods don't require that you know the desired member's email address in advance. Your email address will be included in the off-list message you send, and theirs will be on any message they send back to you in reply:

Each group's Settings page has a Reply To option under Message Policies. If this is set to Sender then the default behavior of the group is for replies to be sent off-list to the message sender. That controls replies by email as well as replies through the Reply link under messages on site.

If the group's Reply To is set to Group, and the Remove Other Reply Options box is not checked, then when you reply on site to a message there's a Private button (initially grey, over to the right) which you can click to change the green Reply to Group button to a blue Reply to Sender button instead.

If the group allows members to see the group directory, and if the person you wish to contact has made their profile available in the directory, then there's a blue Email button on their profile which you can use to send an email to that member off-list. If you're a moderator you can see that for all members.

If you're a moderator of the group and can access the Members list then you can check the box for one or more members and use the blue Actions menu at the bottom of the list to Send Message to the selected member(s). Or you can open a member's page and there's a blue Send Message button at the bottom.

Re: subgroup creation fails?

 

Your main group needs to be approved before you can add subgroups. I went through this when I created my group.?


Re: Attached Picture Not In Emailed Photos.

 
Edited

Please ignore my previous message if you've read it.

I just found the actual cause of the behavior. In the Settings, when my Attachments is set to "Allow", I can see the Emailed Photos Album. However, when set to Bounce, Strip, or Moderate, the Emailed Photos Album is not displayed, although the attachments storage still shows the same size.

Re: Forward Invitation?

Charlie at Duke
 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

A better approach is to ask the teacher to forward your group's website address (or the "+subscribe" email address) to the other families.

An invitation sent to A is customized for A; a reply from A, not B, is expected.? If B replies instead, I would hope that the invitation would be rejected or ignored.? Failure to do that would be a security issue for A (and potentially for B) and a compromise of the entire group.

What is an "off-list?message"? how do you send?


Re: Forward Invitation?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I think so too as a friend of mine showed me an invite that she was sent to a group.
Curious as I was, I clicked on the link and it was for her email address only.
Now I could join but not with the invite.

I don't believe it will.? I'm pretty sure the link is tied to the email address of the person it was sent to.

HOW DO WE add identifying information about the sender in messages sent as text messages to cell phone email addresses?

Buckskin Heights
 

We have quite a few members who want to get GroupsIO emails sent to their phones as text? messages. We have successfully arranged this by using their cell phone email addresses to establish their accounts. So far, so good. However, when messages are sent to a cell phone account as texts, the texts arrive without identifying the original sender/poster of the message -- see the 2 examples below, one a text and the same message as an email. This message was originally posted online by member Rick S*** in response to another member's question.

QUESTION: Is there any way to add "sent by" information to the text message, so you don't have to access the website to see who is responding? Let me add that when you get a text from BigTent (with cell phone email accounts set up as in GroupsIO), the text message gives the sender information in the message header the same way it comes as an email. Thanks for any advice you can give us.

GroupsIO TEXT MESSAGE EXAMPLE (with no mention of Rick S***):?

Re: [buckskinheights] What is the condition of the road?

Snow above the s curve on Otter, slush below the gate --> to wet conditions



SAME MESSAGE RECEIVED AS EMAIL with Rick's name/email included:

Rick S*** RickS***@***.com via groups.io?

7:13 AM (8 hours ago)

to buckskinheights

Snow above the s curve on Otter, slush below the gate ---> to wet conditions

Re: Urgent: How do we stop members' emails being displayed in notification messages (Oct2018)

 

SparkleFever,


In addition to the issue of flouting the EU privacy requirements, ...


I disagree with the notion that what's happening is flouting those requirements: this is a normal and necessary part of the operation of an email list. As I understand it normal and necessary uses are allowed; but I'm not in the EU and I don't really have a direct interest in learning all the finer points of the regulations.

there may be another issue down the line with who would be held responsible for any breaches, as we lodge our email addresses on our account, not with google and the emails are sent from .

It isn't just Google or Gmail: it is every email service used by every one of your members (those who subscribe to Individual messages) - just as your email address and mine have been sent to a large fraction of GMF's members.
There have been suggestions made in (the Groups.io official "suggestion box") that an option be created to allow groups to keep members anonymous from one another. But there's no indication that such a feature is being planned, and such an option might impose some restrictions on group features. A recent version of this suggestion was posted under the topic.

Re: Urgent: How do we stop members' emails being displayed in notification messages (Oct2018)

 

SparkleFever,

One of the members concerned sent me this after I explained your reply to them.? The problem is on the emai notifications sent to to the member.


Just to be clear, you mean messages posted to the group and distributed to members by email, correct? The term notifications often refers to email sent to members other than group postings. See the Member Notices tab of your group's Settings page for examples.


The member uses gmail - maybe there is something happening with google and gmail?


I use Gmail and haven't noticed anything unusual.

what is different is the fact that they are all just there to be seen under all your names on the computer in my gmail account when I check all my other daily emails.

That may actually be new. One of my complaints with Gmail's interface on mobile devices is that only the display names are shown unless one clicks on the Show details button. That's understandable on the limited mobile screens, but may have been true also when using the desktop interface. On the desktop I routinely use Thunderbird as my interface, so I don't always see the webmail interface.

That is what I have been wondering about because it has only happened over the 3 days.Never before,

Gmail rolled out a new look not that long ago, maybe that's just now catching up with some people.
Your private email address was not there before but it is now.?

It was there all the time, as you could tell by clicking Show details, just not displayed by default.
