Re: How to make edits without emailing everyone in the group

BillSF9c,
I am awful with typos, Chuck. So I do an Edit or two BUT this is notA member doesn't have the "don't send" option, only moderators/owners can make an edit without sending the new version. I'm not sure if you knew that, but it sometimes trips up mods who think that members have the same options. I HATE when, because of this problem, some owners simply shut downDitto, though I do have some small sympathy for the group owners who don't want to spend the time trying to educate their members about responsible use of the Edit ability.

Re: member unsubscribe
Bruce,
This screenshot shows what actually happens Ok, so option (a). Probably the lesser evil. At least it clearly explains what happened and what to do. (You could have made that a link, BTW.) I still think an mailto link to the +unsubscribe address may be moreThe argument against a mailto link is that the +unsubscribe command requires confirmation. The concern was that the confirmation requests would not be received (or not noticed) by the sender. Then the complaints flow in about this broken system that won't let them unsubscribe. Under Stephanie's circumstance, with a login required, the need for email confirmation may seem the lesser evil. But Mark says it isn't supposed to be that way, so I guess it is up to him to figure out what's going wrong with what is supposed to be a streamlined web confirmation.

Re: member unsubscribe
Stephanie,
So to test the below, I signed up my daughter from her device (she hasSince that seems to directly contradict how the system is said to work, you should report that in beta. Probably best as a new topic with the #bug hashtag: In your message I think you should cite this answer: Before convert my entire yahoo group over any chance this is a settingNope. It isn't supposed to be that way, I don't know if you need the screenshot, but you could include it for emphasis. Maybe there's something about the fact this is being handled on a mobile device. But your test wasn't was it? Shal -- Help: /helpcenter More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

This works fine, but I don't see a record of these direct emails under Admin->Activity. Are these messages logged anywhere?? - John Mc |

I recently ran into the same issue where a regular member did 5 or 6 edits on his post before getting it right. Everyone whose Email Delivery setting was Individual Messages got emailed all his changes.Chuck -- Yeah, that can be a problem, if the edits are trivial...but if the edits are substantive, it's a good thing. ? So I was wondering 3 things:A Daily Summary does not contain any messages, only a list of active topics. If the edit[s] is completed before a Digest is due, only the final version is included in the digest. Keep in mind that when a Digest is "due" varies from member to member, depending on what topics they have muted, etc. 2) If the original poster deleted then reposted the message rather than editing it, would the original message still go out to all, including those set for Summary?See above.?In addition, if the original post has triggered the sending of a Digest, both will go out, in separate digests.? 3) Is there some legal requirement for this? It seems like we're not allowing them to put lipstick on the pig but we're allowing them to kill it-;)The original message has already gone out to everyone on Individual Emails. Thus, the only way to effectively avoid the dupes is to never send out ANY edited versions.?I don't like giving regular members the ability to change history, and on that basis if a groupwide option was available to somehow suppress the sending of edits, I would not take advantage of it. I don't know about the legal aspects, but I do think it's appropriate that groups.io maintains an audit trail (click the Edited link at upper right). In an extreme case, someone could post something obnoxious to the group, edit the post, and subsequently claim they didn't. The online message archive is, more than anything, a record of emails that have previously been sent.?It's easy to lose sight of this if you read all group messages online.? ?
