Re: Message footers vary by method of posting?
Jonathan,
When I checked the footers of several postings, I noticed thatThere is a distinction between messages posted as plain text versus those posted with formatting (HTML). /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Footers I assume that that the difference was between people posting via emailI don't believe there is such a difference. Members posting online post in plain text or formatted according to their "Editor Preference" control, in the Preferences page of their Account. Members posting by email post in one or the other according to their email interface's settings. If so, is there a group setting to be able to harmonize these footers?In the Message Formatting section of the group's Settings page you can check the "Force HTML Emails" box to make all messages formatted, or you can check the "Plain Text Only" box to make all messages plain text.

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
Ken,
I recently had msgs in my spam (aol musta flagged em) and got noPrior experience with AOL suggests that if you leave them there long enough to be auto-deleted then you will. Having messages be delivered to the spam folder automatically thus gives you a grace period to retrieve them, but those messages may be considered "time bombs" that will trigger an FBL report from AOL (and hence an unsubscribe by Groups.io) if left in place.

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
I appreciate your reply, Duane,? but I'm sorry, neither one is the case. I did NOT mark any email from groups.io as spam. When I noticed I wasn't getting messages I went to the spam folder and there they were about 10 of 'em! And I never empty anything, spam or trash. Yahoo does it so frequently that I just don't bother with worrying about emptying either one. Thank you, though, for your thoughts. ~~ Pamela~~http://thequeensbs.blogspot.com?

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
Checking spam
* As well, be sure to add e-dresses (and permutations) in your contact list so it is recognized as an ¡°approved¡± one. Not just in your device but in the providers list. For instance my phone contacts is separate from the contacts list that AOL keeps. Some let you auto add all addresses that YOU send TO. |

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
Shal, I understand what you're saying. I guess the hangup is my love of clipart? which Yahoo doesn't always accept, or sometimes the clipart won't transfer in a drafted post to appear in a groups.io message. It's something funky I don't dig. I just wish the drafted messages would still be there when I re-subscribe, so much easier than all this investigation and rigamarole. Everyone has been very helpful. ?Love all the replies and suggestions. ~~ Pamela~~http://thequeensbs.blogspot.com? "Awake, CHAOS: ?we have napped." ?--E. E. Cummings

Re: second email? -- Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
Pamela, How do I have a second email where posts come in as well? Correct. Groups.io will treat that second address as a separate account, as if owned by someone else. It would have its own subscription in your group, and you can (should) promote it to Owner role - just as backup in case someday you can't get into the original one for some reason. Or use it as your day-to-day Groups.io login and reserve the original login address as the backup. You would then set your original address' subscription to No Email - that would prevent it being unsubscribed (there'd be no messages going there, nothing to land in the Spam folder). You might need to turn off moderator notices and owner email to that address as well.

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
Any chance I can be owner and sole member of a group on groups.io? I could build my posts, hit send, they'd come to me, (same as being "saved") and then I could forward them. Would that be feasible? Would groups.io permit such? ~~ Pamela~~http://thequeensbs.blogspot.com? "Awake, CHAOS: ?we have napped." ?--E. E. Cummings

I use Gmail and like it well, but I do think the reduced diversity of available services is regrettable.
It may not be worth it for you to change.
But it might be worth it to have a second email address at another service to use for Groups.io and any other services you don't want to give your primary email address. If you decide to stay with Ymail for Groups.io I suggest checking your spam folder periodically, say once a week at least. Put a checkmark on any Groups.io emails in there, as well as anything else you'd rather have had in your inbox, and click the Restore to Inbox button. That should prevent future unsubscriptions, and help train Ymail not to treat group messages as spam.

Microsoft has also. I can't say they're not sneaky though. Gmx seems to be the best of those however.

Re: OH my lands AM I Mad
It was such a stupid inconvenient thing. For months I had the Yahoo spam folder as the page that opened first and I could quickly see what shouldn't be there. But sometime over vacation, that changed, and I got caught unawares! In times past I have checked and done the "restore to inbox", you'd think it would be "trained" by now not to put 'em in spam folder. Thanks for reply. ~~ Pamela~~http://thequeensbs.blogspot.com?
