When replying online, there are a couple of options.? You can select a bit of the post that you want to quote, as I did here, before hitting the Reply button and it will be copied in.? If you want to quote the entire post, you can select the little talk bubble at the top left of the Reply box after it opens to have it inserted.? I don't remember a way to set anything as a default though.

Marina,

I am going to create a private subgroup for moderators of main group.
Should members of main group need to contact moderators, how could
they do?

There will be two ways they could do it.

1) First is by using the primary group's +owner address. That's the approach suggested by Frances. The address would be something like [email protected]

Note that each moderator/owner has an option in their subscription whether to receive all +owner messages, none, or only those from members.

Messages sent by a member to the +owner address are also collected in the member's page (click through that member's row in the Members list). There's a tab on that page for them. Alas, there isn't (as yet) a central list of all messages sent to the +owner address, nor a place that collects replies from the mods/owners. Both have been requested in beta. However there are items in the group's Activity page for these messages.

2) Having created a private subgroup for the moderators provides a second way the members could reach them. If in that subgroup's settings you check the "Allow Non Subscribers to Post" box then primary group members could post messages to the moderator subgroup. The address for that would be something like: [email protected]

Using this second has the advantage of posting the member's message in a place with an archive, and where the moderators can discuss the message by posting in either email or using the subgroup's reply on site.

Is there a way to set up a specific address to be used by all
moderators?

An advantage to (1) is that moderators working on site can reply to the member, and have the reply come from the group's +owner address. So in that sense all the moderators would be using the same address.

In (2) I don't think there's a corresponding way for a moderator to reply to the primary group member and have that come from the moderator subgroup address. Hm... Maybe that should be a feature request in beta.

However the moderator could use the Members list in the primary group to send a message to the member - but it wouldn't be a reply to their post so the moderator would have to manually copy/paste any desired quote.

Marcia,

I have questions of a pending member before I can accept her: If I
reject, can she rejoin with corrected info?

If you reject, yes. If you ban then no.

Or, is it better to wait for the answers to my questions and then
accept or reject.

That's probably friendlier in the eyes of the prospective member. Receiving a rejection might discourage them from joining or be interpreted as a final judgement.

I believe the poles are 24 hours in length, I have not found a way to increase said length, but the results will be sent to the group and you as well at the end.

I believe this is email specific, that is, email program specific. I can select part of the mesage let's say and when hitting reply it will quote ?it and I ca reply at the bottom or top if I wanted to.

I use Pegasus Mail as my email client and don't see that problem, so I suspect
it must be a Thunderbird quirk.

Hi Marina

Be sure to check the settings in Membership. That’s where they are set.

I too use Thunderbird to read the groups messages,
but I don't see that. And I too keep my TB updated to
the latest release.

There is a list owner’s email address in the footer of emails to members. As
moderator I receive them from the travel group members.?

So all messages sent to the list owner are received by all moderators, too. Perfect.
Thank you, Frances.

Is your group restricted or unrestricted?? Restricted groups require approval by owner or moderator for someone to join.

Are you sure you're not looking at the Pending Approval list?? That's the default Member page view when there are any pending.

This doesn’t happen with Apple Mail.

Shal,

What email address should I use to tell Mark about this issue?
