Re: Messages from non-subscribers
Maybe hashtags would be a better solution than subgroups. Tag messages with #W6 or #W4C.
The pricing page is also a useful overview:? /static/pricing

Message formatting includes:
Force HTML Emails
Make all emails HTML and remove the plain text digest option.
Normalize HTML Emails
Strip all different fonts and colors from HTML emails.
Plain Text Only
Strip out HTML messages
Force HTML is definitely not what I want but am not sure what ¡°normalizing¡± means. Does it strip formatting and leave plain text?
Does ¡°strip out HTML messages¡± mean the messages aren¡¯t delivered? Or is the html converted to plain text meaning paragraphs of gibberish?
What I want is plain text emails but I don¡¯t want messages sent as html to be made weird or rejected.
I¡¯m setting up about 15 subgroups so all these settings are a lot of work. I don¡¯t want to have to go back and change them.

customizing message after a member joins
How do I customize the message that gets sent back to a member once they've subscribed to our group? ?I'd like to have our guidelines sent automatically but can't figure out how to do that. ?Thanks, as always, for the help!

In the footer of every group.io email is ¡°reply to sender¡±.
When I use that, the resultant email does not include the previous
message.
I can¡¯t seem to find anywhere in the settings to make that happen.
At first I thought it was my mail client but I do have it set to
include message, so it is something in groups.io.
Do you know how to change it?
Thanks.. and I appreciate all your help in these early teething
problems.

He has to do it for himself.

Via his Account page. He'll have to log in to Groups.io, then click
on
his name in the upper right and select Account. The first thing on that

Re: Member not bouncing but not receiving mail
Richard, I am curious as to why it is showing that the failure message is
coming from Yahoo. Because under the hood Yahoo Mail is providing email service to att.net (and SBCGlobal) customers. Or were. I thought in reaction to the purchase of Yahoo by Verizon that AT&T had decided to pull its users off of Yahoo Mail and substitute their own service. Or maybe not yet. Or maybe I misunderstood. Is ATT/SBC blocking io Groups? Probably not. There are a half-dozen GMF members with att.net email addresses who are not bouncing. In this case it is as Duane mentioned. When the member tried to post to Groups.io, his message outbound from att.net, by way of Yahoo Mail, was rejected by Groups.io. Yahoo Mail reported that fact back to the member. How that member's email address came to be bouncing is something you could investigate through his row in your group's Members table. Click anywhere on the row except the checkbox, and on the page that opens look at his Email Delivery History tab. That should say something relevant to why his address has bouncing (blue B) or bounced (red B) status. Shal

Re: Approving new members - and NOT!
It's a restricted group. ?I receive a message from groups.io "Subscription Approval Needed" with the person's email address. ?I click on View Pending Member to see if there is a name. ?I check the National Member list to see if I can find the person by the email address. ?If they are on that list, I click on Reply. ?If I can't find them, I don't do anything. ?In either case I receive a message "New Subscriber To [email protected]"?with the email address and the name and/or email address is on the groups.io member list.

The message is being bounced by groups.io because they haven't unbounced their account, so the email daemon on their Yahoo account sends them this notice.? Once they visit the web site, as shown, and unbounce their account, all should work until the next time. Duane

Re: Member not bouncing but not receiving mail
We just moved from YahooGroups and have about 350 members that have subscribed over the last week as we transitioned. Of that now we have about 8 or 9 members bouncing, all are either SBCGlobal or ATT.Net addresses. One of them forwarded a part to me that had this in it:

Re: Groups.io Digests and Thunderbird
I also use Thunderbird, kept updated, but have not had this
occur. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the digest
delivery, as I receive individual emails. Perhaps take it up with
Mozilla.

? I use Thunderbird for my email client.?
When I get a
groups.io digest and do a Reply (or New Topic) it
creates a new window and I compose my reply and
send it and it works just fine.
? However ... it also spawns an unused new window
that I have to click on to close it.? I am using the
very latest Tbird and keep it up to date.
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.

Another approach would be to assume that there isn't such an ability, and post it as a suggestion in beta. You never know, that might prompt a work-around from someone else. I can see where Groups.io might not want to make such an ability generally available, but adding it to the transfer agent's repertory might not be out of the question. Shal

On the groups.io recruiting list it says there is an algorithm for yahoo groups transfers and one for google groups transfers, but that's all I know.
