Re: Footers
Bruce W Fairhall
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThank you to all who have suggested causes, effects and possible remedies.Although our new group (just 3 members as we do initial testing) has Force HTML set, and I REALLY want to get the HTML style footer on all messages received by group members, it just won't happen! I have sent HTML from Thunderbird and text from Thunderbird but none are received with that required footer, so I can't see what the Force HTML is supposed to achieve. My emails are set inwards as Viewed Always in HTML. It would appear to be a Thunderbird-created situation and in view of the popularity of this email program I can't understand why groups.io programmers haven't found a way to accommodate it. I think the "text" footer is nowhere near as helpful as the HTML version but it looks as though groups.io is just going to receive my white flag on this one, unless someone has a panacea before I upload the member list. Cheers from Down Under. Bruce Fairhall On 15-Nov-20 9:44 am, Shal Farley

Re: Fake member requests
John Pearce
Thanks Paul.? Our group is both restricted and listed in directory with private messages so that is why I thought they couldn't see them.? I'm hoping they can't.? Sporadically we get quite a few of these bogus requests to join.? They sit there for a couple of weeks and time-out.?

On a less facetious level it would be perfectly possible to use John Smith or some other unremarkable name. Requiring an Introduction is possible now, using the Pending Subscription Message capability which is available for groups set up (or changed to be) as Restricted.? The term user profile is perhaps not a good one to use because Groups.io already has that in use, and it is nothing more than another "name" (which may or may not truly reflect the user's actual name) but that is an Account level function not a Group level one. Suffice to say that having a Restricted group with an active Pending Subscription mesage requirement is the usual way in which this potential problem is addressed. Chris. (Which is my real name!) |
Re: Footers
Bruce,
I thought that it was the List Message Policy that determined whatGMF has neither Plain Text Only nor Force HTML checked. In that case the sender's email is sent through with one, the other, or both as it was received. It was once a strong SHOULD in the email standard that a message containing HTML coding be sent in MIME multipart/alternative format, with two copies of the message body - first as text/plain and then as text/HTML. This was for backward compatibility with email interfaces that didn't support text/HTML formatting. These days that has been loosened, and it is not that uncommon to see email messages containing only a text/HTML message body.

Re: Footers
Bruce,
I have Thunderbird set to Send as HTML because of my signature file.Ok. This is set in each account, so if you're using more than one email address make sure you have it set correctly for the one used in your group. In the Options Composition page, Send Options button, you may have this overridden per destination domain. Also, it is possible for a contact entry in your address book to override this. The Thunderbird VIEW setting is defaulted to Original HTML.But of course this won't matter if the message has only a text/plain part (as this message, I believe). That can happen either by the sender's email interface or by the group setting Plain Text only. So you think the problem is Thunderbird, and there's nothing I can doNope, not necessarily. But what puzzles me is that I don't know how you could be seeing an HTML message body combined with a plain-text footer in the same message. Which is what it sounds like you are saying. When looking at a message with the plain text footer, that shouldn't have, use View | Message Source (Ctrl-U) to check whether it has both: Content-Type: text/plain; ... and Content-Type: text/html; ... or only one or the other.

Re: Footers
Bruce W Fairhall
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýG'dayI'm still puzzling over how footers appear. I thought that it was the List Message Policy that determined what appeared. However, in today's posts to GMF (Making Invitations ...): 1. From Ken Cameron shows the "non-HTML" footer 2. From Chris Jones shows the HTML footer. ----------------------------------------------- If the policy is set for this list, why is there a variation in these two messages? I would prefer the List I'm just setting up to have what was shown from Chris, but it seems groups.io is not consistent? Help please. Bruce Fairhall |

Re: Accidental email change
I've had this happen to me. Back a while ago, I went to change my email address and I entered it in wrong. I was able to have somebody email me the address that was in the members list. And I was able to login with my current password and change it back on my profile. So you should be able to do the same as long as you remember what your password is.address.

Re: Accidental email change
Sara,
Glad to read that Duane had the right idea to help you straighten this out. I recently inherited a GIO group when our owner passed away lastIndeed I do, very sad to hear of his passing. I first started using Yahoo Groups in 2003; he and ListHelp were already there mentoring us noobs. I did not know him "IRL", but over the years had many email conversations with him both on and off list. His energy and helpfulness helped draw me in to the Yahoo Group moderators community. When I went into the other account to request it, I must haveWhen you attempt to change your email address to one that already has a Groups.io account there is a message asking if you want to merge the accounts. That's an action fraught with consequences if both accounts are active members/mods/owners of various groups. So then I retyped this email address, but apparently I misspelled it.Ah. When the new address is not yet in use at Groups.io then you are allowed to change it without much fuss. Now this is the odd part and is something I think GIO should reflectThinking about this on a new day I see the same thing you realized: a confirmation from the old address is not required because then there would be no way to switch away from an address that you could no longer use (for whatever reason).

Re: Accidental email change
Sara,
Does the email show the bad address? At least confirming the typo made. I too would expect it to time out after not being confirmed. I'd also expect that it should happen quickly if the attempt to send the confirmation resulted in a bounce, meaning the bad address is invalid. The catch I see is if the bad address is some valid email and whoever that is does respond to that confirmation email. I think the reason it doesn't do a confirmation via the old address is that many people, when they have to change addresses, the old address has already closed and they can't access it. Groups is using the fact that you knew the password at Groups for the login as being a valid person to request the change. That's my take on it. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |
