Re: How to change the max attachment size setting for the entire group?

 

Yes, I do want to change it.? This list is for the members of a dog club, and our minutes/agendas and event announcements?are being blocked.? This is a small group, and everyone has high speed internet, so size isn't a problem.
?
I had initially set the? max size to 5MB, but need it to be bigger.? I've changed it for new subscribers, but that will only affect new members.? All members?need to be able to receive these documents.

First, are you sure you want to?? There may be members that have set it themselves and wouldn't want you changing it.? I know I'd be really irate if an owner changed mine since I have limited bandwidth and have it set to 100KB for a reason.? If you really do want to change it, go to each member's record, open the Advanced Preferences panel, set it (near the bottom of the panel), and scroll down to Save.

Re: How to change the max attachment size setting for the entire group?

 

How can you change the max attachment size for current members?? I have a small list, and set the size to 5MB initially, but it won't forward a 4MB attachment (replaces with a link).? I have changed the size for new subscribers, but can't find how to change for those already subscribed.

You can't.? It's something they have to do themselves, /helpcenter/faq/1/group-member-faq/q-i-got-a-message-that-my? All you can do is send Bounce Probes.

Either may help.? Centurylink may be using spamcop which is known to have problems by itself.? That message is pretty clear it was suspected spam, but the only time I've had NC members bounce is when they've entered a bad email address (typo).

You can always join the group and add your opinion on this in this .? If enough folks support that, it may be changed to do what you would like.

Bouncing confirmation message

I understand the concept and how to un-bounce after they are a member.
But can not find any solution to help them un-bounce for the confirmation message.
is the only option to suggest for them is use a different email address or do they have to contact centurylink?

HTML formatting of message footer?

 

Maybe my memory is going but didn't we used to have the ability to format the footer under "message format?" Mine doesn't have a format bar now.

Andy,

>>> Yes. Edit his membership record for the group and in the Posting Privileges section, select 'Override: not moderated'

Unfortunately this doesn't work, I was in the process of testing it so I could reply to this thread, and turns out the Moderate-Attachments setting takes precedence.

Not sure if it is by design or a bug though, I'll ask on beta.

Cheers,
Christos

Er... I don't think so. See the Owners Manual pdf version para 3.7.5 where it reads The system flags messages that include attachments for moderation (regardless of other moderation settings set for the group).

We moderate all posts with attachments. I have one very trusted member that I'd like to set so his posts with attachments go up without review.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
Re: Using "Reply to Group" from a digest by a Mac user

 

Hi Shal

Thank you for your reply

Perhaps I should have said not remedied as yet, rather than addressed, but I now understand why it cannot be implemented

My subscriber says they are using Mail, and having tested that using Reply find it works just as Thunderbird does, I will have to ask further questions of them to see how they are trying to reply

Thanks again

It has:

I remember being one of several people to confirm that different email interfaces (both webmail and clients) behave differently when a mailto: link has a body parameter. Some just ignore it, others use it but may have problems if body parameter is too long. Some even gave an error message saying that the link was malformed somehow.

Re: Former Moderator's name keeps appearing when present Moderator sends messages from Pending bin?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Alex,
So you're saying my group didn't send out the name "Jane Doe?"

That is correct. But be sure you have the From field set to the +owner address when composing the Send Member:

But that's probably already correct, as I believe the only other choice in that drop list is your own email address, with your Display Name.
That it was generated/associated with the incoming email by the recipient's own email software which had that name associated with the address?[email protected]?(which as far as I know is the address such moderator-generated messages-from-pending-bin go out as)?

Yup. This is what I received at that To address:

?
Hummm? I'm not sure that makes sense¡­but will think about how to test that.

You're welcome to join to try things out without posting to a "real" group.

Because seems unlikely that the recipients ¡­this has happened with several different recipients IIRR¡­would have even had Jane Doe's name in their email contacts list.

True, it seems like this would require that the member receive at least one message From: Jane Doe <[email protected]> and reply to it in order to get the Jane Doe Display Name associated with that email address.

IIRC there was a controversy about exactly that being done by Groups.io, but I don't recall if that was in the Pending list or in the message archives. But maybe it was both and it got fixed in both places. Otherwise Jane Doe would have to be a bit of an email savant and have forged messages using her email client From the owner address with he own display name. That used to be easy to do, it now requires a bit more subterfuge.

Thanks again Bruce

I understand the problems now

I guess most people use an email client rather than use the links

Nivard -- It's by design.
As Derek indicated, it is /possible/ to include body text in a mailto: link, but that's usually restricted to short, canned text (See <>?, "adding body text").
Each message in a groups.io digest contains [typically] three separate reply links (e.g.: Reply to Group, Reply to Sender, Reply to Group and Sender). If each one also included the entire body text of its associated message, that's tantamount to sending 48 message bodies in each digest -- the original 12 messages to display, plus another 36 hidden within the reply links.
Even without consideration of embedded images and so on, the additional server load and bandwidth necessary to make than happen does not justify doing this.

Bruce
