Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, Is there an easy way to find in the archive any posts you or others have
written? Mark mentioned a method in beta@, but it isn't documented anywhere else that I know of. /g/beta/message/7668It turns out that the search box has tricks we don't know of, including an ability to search for specific kinds of things using keywords. So for this purpose the keyword is "poster:" followed by the person's email address. Which, somewhat ironically given recent threads in beta@, requires one to know that person's email address. So to find my messages try poster:shals2nd@... Oddly, this trick only works in the search box in Messages view (or Expanded Messages View), not Threads View. That's another one of those search idiosyncrasies I'd like to see fixed. Shal

Msrk has already stated in beta that this is a bug and will be hard to fix.

Like if I wanted to find all the posts I wrote in a certain group or if I wanted to find all the posts another member has
written?
Thank you!

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
There's not a simple way that I'm aware of. If you're an owner/moderator with access to the Member list, you can go to the member name, then Activity History, and search for Accepted Message. A kluge at best, but works for now.
If you and/or the other person always sign the same way, you could search for that in Message View, but it would also show any quotes that contained it. (Search won't find them in Thread View unless it's in the title.) I think Mark has plans to add a search by poster.

This has been VERY high on my personal wishlist for a long time. It's a glaring hole, especially with respect to Yahoo.

Glad to hear that "special notice" preempts digest delivery choice. Yes, can you forward your suggestions to Mark on Beta? That would be super.? Thanks, J_catlady and Shal. Frances

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Thank you Shal. We don't have enough test users in our test group to see if there is a pattern yet... but i am pleased that groups.io seems to handle it better than other services we use/have used. Whatever Mark has done so far seems to be working better than elsewhere. Maria

Re: repeat of original post in replies (not deliberately quoted)
Maria, I am wondering if others here have managed to figure out what the
pattern is with original posts being carried over in replies? There are several factors at work - which is why it is inconsistent. First is the user's email interface: different interfaces use different "styles" of distinguishing the quoted material. In plain text there's a reasonably strong convention of word-wrapping the quoted lines slightly shorter than the normal lines, then inserting a marker such as "> " at the beginning of each line - as I've done in this message. In HTML message formats indentation is often used, sometimes together with a vertical bar on the left. Some we see in the pending message - but once approved - they nicely
disappear in the web interface and the digest. In the pending list the message is shown to you pretty much "as received". But when displayed in the Messages section the system attempts to detect and hide trailing "bottom-quotes" and provide an expander ("..." button) to let you see them if you want. In the digest it simply omits them. But I am seeing on the @beta group that every now and then posts come
through with the entire original post underneath the reply. I've noticed that too, and I think it must be that sometimes the user's email interface formatted the quote in a way that escaped Groups.io's detection. It seems to happen most with HTML formatted messages. Wondering in those instances in which this happens if there is a
common cause and if as mods there is anything we can do to educate
those members to whom this happens so that we can reduce the amount
of duplicate carry over of the OP in replies. I haven't looked but it is possible that there's a correlation with specific email interfaces that those members use. But whether the user can do anything to change it I don't know. I suspect that in most cases the only thing the member could do would be vigilance in trimming the quotes. Shal

Shal, I'll let you run with the ball if you want to suggest the combo on beta. ;) J

Good idea. Maybe also an automatically applied #hashtag in the subject line, such as the calender events have.

J, I personally wish Groups.io would automatically append a "special
notice" banner at the top of special notice messages. It would make
things easier for the moderators and also provide an explanation to
members of why they're getting a message when they're on digest of
special notices. I might suggest it in beta. Good idea. Maybe also an automatically applied #hashtag in the subject line, such as the calender events have. Shal

Frances, If someone gets a digest, would they get a Special Notice message right
away? I would assume so. It should override their delivery options and
deliver the message immediately (or immediately as possible!) Yes, I just checked that in my shalstest@. It may also arrive in the digest, I won't know about that until later. Shal

It sounds like you unticked it. I personally wish Groups.io would automatically append a "special notice" banner at the top of special notice messages. It would make things easier for the moderators and also provide an explanation to members of why they're getting a message when they're on digest of special notices. I might suggest it in beta.

I just checked and my digest members received the special notice, too. So yours should have received it. J

It's all working for me. To check (not using the log) if a special notice got sent, you can go into a special notices member and check their email delivery history. Yes, I sent a notice this morning. It hog logged thst way in my activity log and was received by a special notice member. Digest members would not receive it until the digest goes out. I haven't ?double checked that but I'm fairly sure.

Abut a couple of questions before I resend it - If someone gets a digest, would they get a Special Notice message right away? I would assume so. It should override their delivery options and deliver the message immediately (or immediately as possible!) I just recently changed my settings so that there was no "no mail" option. The two who had been "special notices only" got changed in the members list to "special notices only". Perhaps that isn't working. Has anyone sent a Special Notice recently and noticed its behaviour?
