Re: File is unreadable message when trying to upload a 3 mb .PDF file

The problem was occurring on trying to upload the file, however, I've re-written the >PFDF, and that seems to have solved the issue.Glad you were able to get it to work out. The fact remains, though, that you should be able to upload a file of ANY type, even corrupted files and/or total garbage. Anything groups.io (or your browser) may choose to say about file readability in the upload dialog only affects display of the thumbnail image.

Re: copies of sent messages.
Donald, Sorry--I thought you were referring to Outlook--the program--and not I believe the OP is talking about Outlook - the program. The _program_ is capable of receiving your own messages back and does Again, it is not necessarily the same thing. Outlook - the program - could also notice that the sender of the message isn't the user's account, and react accordingly. I don't know that it does, it was just one of the possibilities. Outlook.com, the email service, which appears to be what's being From prior conversations about Microsoft-powered email services, including Outlook.com, whether or not you originated the message isn't a factor. That is, the message may or may not duplicate anything already in your account. It is merely the fact that the message was delivered by some service outside their own domain that marks it as potentially fraudulent. I wasn't aware of that function but if I know of someone using Gmail Yes. With Gmail the situation is different. Gmail inspects the Message-ID field of the inbound message to determine whether that message already exists in your account, and if so does not place the inbound message in your Inbox. That is how it "hides" messages returned by a list service (which generally won't alter the Message-ID on the way through), and also hides duplicates caused by simple handling errors. The feature in Groups.io replaces the Message-ID field* with one of Groups.io's own creation whenever it sends a message back to the member who sent it (the original Message-ID goes out to all other members). This causes Gmail to treat the returned message as something entirely new. * The Message-ID field is created by the originating service, and is required to be globally unique. That is, like a serial number it supposed to be exceptionally unlikely that any other message was ever given that same ID. Mail forwarding services (those that just pass the message along) are supposed to pass the Message-ID unchanged, on the basis that they didn't change the content or identifying fields of the message. List services also generally pass the Message-ID unchanged, even though they generally do make small alterations to the message (like add a list tag to the subject and append list footers to the message body).

I'm not close to my limit, but getting this message. Any help would be appreciated.Does it actually say the file is unreadable, or does it say "Couldn't open PDF?" If the latter, this problem seems to affect only those using the Edge browser. Edge seems to have trouble displaying the thumbnail image in the upload dialog. If you click on the "Add" button anyway, it should still go. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/23176361#10036?for a previous discussion on this.

Re: problem with blocked emails for mymts.net (bellmts.ca)
Michael, If a Bounced (or Bouncing) subscriber tries to post a message to (one of) their group(s): No. It will generate an Activity Log entry Rejected from bouncing member. b) will it reset their status from Bounced (or Bouncing) to Bouncing (restarting that status) or normal? No. c) if it is accepted, is their status only changed if they also receive (without rejecting) that post? N/A.

Re: copies of sent messages.
Donald,
Outlook allows you to email yourself.That's not the same thing. What makes your own messages returning from an email list different is that they were delivered to your email service by some other service (Groups.io in this case). So your email service (or your email client interface) may interpret that situation as fraudulent (that email address belongs to this service, not that other service. So it comes down to the email provider. I believe Gmail has a settingNot that I know of. Groups.io however does have an option in your Account Preferences which defeats Gmail's detection of an inbound message as "matching" one you just sent, so that Gmail won't hide the returned copy. That's the "I always want copies of my own messages" checkbox. I don't know if that applies outside of the web interface for Gmail,It does. When Gmail "hides" a message (from you) that is returned from an email list it does not put that copy into your Inbox, so neither POP nor IMAP will retrieve it (actually IMAP /can/ retrieve it, Gmail hides the returned message in the Sent folder).

Re: Use of hashtags
Don,
I'm assuming the purpose of the #hashtag in the Subject field, is forIt goes beyond responses (replies). The initial purpose was to provide a tag that can be applied to topics as a target for search, mute, and follow functions. These features allow members to find topics of interest (search), and to control whether or not they receive topics by email (mute and follow). So in the #intro example, a member could seek out other member's introductions ("I'm Shal #intro and I moderate here") by searching the group's topics for the tag #intro. Or could exclude introductions from his/her email deliveries by muting that hashtag. Or, if the member receives only topics he/she follows, can receive introductions by following that hashtag. Since then a lot of other topic-control functionality has been added to hashtags. Those functions are controlled by the various hashtag options listed under "Uses of hashtags" in the help for Hashtags. /static/help#hashtags Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: a list member having trouble unsubscribing
Adding my 2 cents:?Cookies are NOT viruses. Cookies use a plain text format. They are not compiled pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor are they self-executing. Accordingly, they cannot make copies of themselves and spread to other networks to execute and replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they fall outside the standard virus definition.
