Re: Maintaining intended text formatting on 'message footer'

Anybody have any idea how to possibly prevent that?Dave -- You can try switching the group settings to Plain Text Only ("Message Formatting" block), but that won't work if the recipient's email client is rendering your work using a proportional font. So I suggest this instead: Click the "hamburger" menu open at far right to show the Advanced Toolbar, followed by again clicking far right icon to open "Source code" mode. Having done that, you must use a monospaced font, and inhibit the normal collapse of consecutive whitespace characters in HTML.?So what you will have to do is specify the font using some kind of inline CSS style (style="font: 15px consolas;" or courier or something like that should work) and then wrap the entire section of ACSII art in <pre> </pre> tags to keep it from collapsing. Be sure to also check "Force HTML emails" and UNcheck "Normalize HTML emails" in your Settings. If you do all that, I think it will work. Good luck, Bruce |

There has been discussion on the beta group around having other languages, but it's a complicated procedure.? I expect that it will happen one day because Mark wants this to be a world class email group service.? Hopefully he won't get burnout from the transfer deluge!

Is it possible to create a sub email group only. Meaning I don't want to create a whole entire complete subgroup site, I just want to create a sub email group and put individuals into that email group so that emails can be sent and received to only a subset of members.Tiffiney -- You can set up a subgroup and disable virtually all of the features there (calendar, files, photos, wiki, databases, etc) in Settings. This might be useful to handle email traffic within a committee or board of directors or other subset of a larger group. Please note, however, that the retention of messages in the message archive of the subgroup cannot be disabled. If you want those to go away you'll have to periodically log in and delete them manually. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Tiffiney,
I suspect the answer is no - I had a quick look at a couple of options? but no go. Any particular reason you didn't want to set up a subgroup? Slightly awkward I admit, as you'd have to invite members (assuming you make it a restricted group not listed in the parent)... Edit - the invite process would only be needed if you're using a basic rather than premium group. Derek |

Re: Bouncing email address
Not an owner or moderator. It occurs in all the groups I subscribe to, including this one I just subscribed to minutes ago. The message I sent above bounced with this notation...

If you're the group owner (or moderator with permission) you can look in the Member list to find that email address.? If it shows up, you can delete that member entry.

Re: reply to sender/group

Set group policy on emails to "Reply to Sender". Send an email from my Thunderbird client to the group. When I received the message, it had two issues: (1) When I hit Reply in Thunderbird it set up the message to reply to the GROUP, not me the sender (2) The options at the bottom of the message still only had the limited set (View/Reply online, Mute, Group Owner, Unsubscribe), So, as a result I still had no way to reply to sender.Herb --?The reply-to setting you put in your group affects only the Reply-To: field in the outgoing message header. If your email client fails to honor that convention, then it may instead send your response to the From: address. You also didn't say whether you receive messages as individual emails or as a digest. It matters. Many people here use Thunderbird and I'm sure someone will step up and tell you what settings you can change to get it to operate properly. Regards, Bruce |

Bouncing email address
I keep getting bounced email notices, although I seem to get all the messages. The bounce notice is an email address not associated currently with my groups.io account. It's an address that I had used years ago.? Why are emails being sent to this non-existant email address ?? I'd just let the bounce process go on until no email is sent to that address, but it seems like it's assocyaed with my current account and I don't want that account affected ?
