Re: A Groups.io group used as a mirror for an existing, other mailing list. Is this feature offered?
Lawrence,
It would need to provide a unique user ID to use to subscribe theSounds like something an Email Integration could do. That generates a unique email address which could be subscribed to the mirrored list, and which is allowed to post in the Groups.io list. I'm not sure how the mirrored messages are attributed - that is, I don't know if they appear to be "From" the integration address or the address of the original poster to the mirrored list.

In DON we tried to devise fool-proof (or sailor-proof) plan, but in our management systems we found that the only systems that had problems were those run by the computer system experts... KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success." STEINBECK - CANNERY ROW On 2018-02-17 17:44, Shal Farley wrote:

Re: Groups.io site updates

Don,
Or are updates a never ending thing?There's an old saying in computer science to the effect that the only complete and error-free program is one that nobody uses. The observation is that any software that is in regular use ends up being used for things the author never anticipated - and so unexpected behaviors ("bug reports") and new requirements ("feature requests") are endlessly generated. I wish I could dig up the source on that one. Then there's this gem: "There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works." Alan Perlis, "Epigrams on Programming" Back in the late seventies I took a class on programming in APL from Dr. Perlis. The quote is very much apt of his humor.

Since Mark does updates every week will there ever be a time when he does not have to update? Or are updates a never ending thing?

Re: A Transferred Attachment
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýShal, ? I can bring up the image by clicking on the thumbnail, but I don¡¯t know if that will give me any pertinent information. After I found the email with the three thumbnails below the text, I started wondering if all the images were done at the same time, in the same way, why didn¡¯t I get all three images instead of just one. Whatever that person did with his post couldn¡¯t be an isolated occurrence (Or could it be?), that they or no one else had not replicated in 18 years of posts. If the image was embedded into the email could that make a difference? ? Don ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shal Farley ? Don, |

Re: The Transfer Message
To help minimize the unsubs, you could include the information in the Welcome message that would also be sent (you could change it to something more appropriate for your group after the move.)? That, along with an announcement in your YG, seems about the best you can do.

Re: The Transfer Message
Stan,
I do not have readily on hand the actual text of the message a member of YG's gets to inform them that the group has been moved to groups.io. However, I do remember that the message gives the member an easy way to unsubscribe from the groups.io group by a simple click of the mouse.The most recent I have is from last August. I'm not sure if this notice is among the things Mark recently improved. but here's the paragraph: You do not have to do anything to continue being a member of this group. If you do not wish to be a member of GroupName, click here to unsubscribe and you will be unsubscribed immediately. (I've edited the GroupName and the link, of course) It is the fourth of six short paragraphs. Is it possible for the support team to remove the option to immediatelyPossible, sure. Likely, I doubt it. I understand your concerns, but I'm sure that Mark considers having the opt-out there is essential for "good behavior" on his part. I'm sure some could make a case that only an opt-in would be "good behavior", but that I think would be way too limiting.
