Re: #Question - can you push an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail" #question

 

The owner or moderator with permissions can disable "no mail" choice in Admin, Preferences. If that happens, any members that are currently No Mail automatically get the email status of "special notices only".?
?
If the owner uses Special Notices cautiously, ?just when it is really necessary to contact all members, it shouldn't cause too much grief for those who don't want mail and just want to read online.
?
I prefer disallowing No Mail because I want to be able to send a Special Notice very occasionally and hope that I can reach all members.

As a group admin, you can certainly send that person a private message (via the button at the bottom of their subscription page) and cut-and-paste any desired content into it.
?
Otherwise, no.

#Question - can you push an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail" #question

 

Hi All,
?
I just looked at the Wiki and aren't sure where to find info about whether you can "push" an email to someone who has chosen "No Mail".
?
A member is having a problem in another group and said the old yahoogroups did.? So I'm assuming it may be there but I don't know how to do it.
?
Any and all help appreciated.
?
Sincerely,

Re: screenshots not always showing up in posts

If the image URL ever changes, then your browser will no longer be able to fetch it.
?
Also, it sometimes happens that access to the image requires some kind of authentication (you must first log in, or you have to join this FB group, etc). Your post may look good to you while you're still logged into the other site's portal, but no one else can see the linked content because they aren't.
?
It's always best to download or otherwise make a copy of an image and use that in your post.?

Re: screenshots not always showing up in posts

 

If these are photos that were taken with an iPhone, they may be in HEIC format. These images may not render in most browsers.?

If that¡¯s the case, go to the iPhone¡¯s settings > camera > formats and change to Most Compatible.?

I have the same problem. Seems to happen mostly with linked photos from Facebook. Here's a screenshot of a recent example.

It does. But I would suggest this is more effective use of MIPS and interweb bandwidth than sending the same image out to every individual in the Group.

Re: Unable to download messages

 

OK, I created a "new member" using a Gmail account and the messages are coming through and downloading as emails without any problem.? So, it looks like it is a Fastmail issue.? Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions.

I can't remember what happens to the main group URL after you add and then remove subgroups.
?
However, to add to Malcolm's comment, you can also change a subgroup's visibility in the menu on the main group so only subgroup members see it. And delete all subgroup members but yourself. This doesn't mean that you can make a private subgroup visible or not to the general public. See

Yes, it will present itself differently when you create a subgroup but both old ([email protected]) and new ([email protected]) addresses will work.

To avoid later confusion, don't delete the subgroup, just stop using it :-)

Why does ">>>" occasionally come across as a BQ triple indent, and sometimes come across as was intended, as text??
Ken -- This is an entirely different question.
?
In the actual message - and in outgoing emails - the sequence of greater-than signs are retained as typed. They are only converted to blockquotes for display on the web site.*
?
If you insert a space character between them and any subsequent text, they will not be displayed as blockquotes.

I cannot speak to what anyone's email client may be doing with them.

Email apps/clients will sometimes try to be 'helpful' by showing some formatting in plain text messages. An obvious example is email address that can be shown as a hyperlink when, by definition, a plain text message cannot contain such a link.

it does make some sense but, of course, a Mod should be able to make that type of change (say Bold the text.)

VERY strange goings on, but at least I now know why the Toolbar is gone.

Nichole -- There are a number of things that could cause this.
?
- All images and files in messages are stored as attachments. If you have the group set up to "delete old attachments" they will eventually disappear.
- Deleting any image from the Emailed Photos folder will also remove it from the message.
- If the image was inserted as a link to somewhere else (<IMG> tag), and that image is subsequently removed at the source, a broken link will be displayed.

To sort this out further we will need more details on exactly what you've been doing.

Yes, even plain text messages are doing this. The message itself still contains the greater-than sign but it's converted into indents for display.

Is this a recent change?
I'm unsure if this is new behavior. I do suggest that if you're switching back and forth between plain text and html in your group settings some anomalies can be expected.
