Yes.

And will other links in a message appear as clickable?

That depends on your group settings and also on he individual user settings. See Admin->Settings->Message Formatting.

There are some group and member settings that might bear on this. Hopefully others have played with these settings enough that they know more about what they do than I currently do.

Group settings...check Admin->Settings->Message Formatting. Normalize HTML emails will strip colors and such. Force HTML emails will make sure it's sent out as HTML but this might not be too friendly to some email clients. Leaving both unclicked should forward whatever is received, at least to those receiving Individual Messages (more on that below). Plain text only will strip all formatting.?Pick your poison.

Now click on the "Subscription" tab for your individual preferences, which contains personalized settings. "Individual emails" should receive whatever the group settings recommend. I believe the full featured digest setting is kinda like "normalize HTML emails" in that it will preserve fonts and size but strip colors, CSS, etc. Plain digest is [probably] like plain text only. I don't know about the daily summary.

The good thing about some of these plain text formats is that they contain no active hyperlinks and are thus less likely to be flagged as malicious/spam. What to do depends on what you want it to do, which was not explicit in your inquiry.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hmm...

Underscores are OK in Yahoo!Group names.

Underscores are NOT OK in Groups.io group names.? Bummer.

I guess that's why you got the error message?? Does the automated transfer process have a way to translate underscores in the name to something else?

A web search of cox.net and whitelist turned up this hit:



I hope this helps...if not, further search of their help area might.

How can I create clickable links on the Home page, or equivalent, to advertise my other Group(s)
Few people wound ever find them in the Database section.
Can I add them to the Description area?

And will other links in a message appear as clickable?

Thanks,
Richard

This would be consistent with a setting of "mask all email addresses in the web archive." Could you check that setting again?
?

I have just established a new Group and want to transfer the archived messages and member emails from my old Yahoo Group to the new Groups.io group. Not sure how to do this. Maybe can point me to any instructions on the website or send instructions on how to do this to my email. Thanks for your help.

I just tested this and I think there's a small bug. Mark evidently forgot to
unmask email addresses in the message previews. They ARE unmasked in the
actual message archive.

The strange thing is:
if I read posts via mail, links are correctly displayed.
If I read posts online they are truncated (not just in preview, I mean the actual message).

I don't think that's correct. They are still bona fide group members and can access all content and send messages. The only difference is that groups.io has stopped sending emails to them.

So, they wouldn't even be able to read group posts online.

As I said earlier, for those that went bouncing immediately after being
copied in from a Yahoo Group that's probably fine.
But for those that went bouncing more recently it is possible that Yahoo
Mail will cure its glitches and those members you could send them an ad-hoc
bounce probe to see if they are able to unbounce themselves.

I'm not sure at what time they went bouncing. I sent a bulk bounce probe some days ago, but they are all still there with a red B. Actually, three new members joined the bouncing group.

How long does it take to transfer from a yahoogroup into groups.io? Less than 50 members. Probably 1000 messages. No files at this time. Thanks so much. Tammi

We're seeing a lot more flagging by Office 365 Exchange online of SPF issues for emails that have traversed groups.io with users seeing messages such as this experienced in Outlook Online:
This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be.

Microsoft did recently overhaul their anti spoofing tech this month? ??

Is it worth those of us who have control over our domains, have SPF set up for our mail hosts, and who send a fair amount of mail via groups.io adding an SPF include record for groups.io ? Will this actually make much difference?
Just worrying that at some point emails will start being bounced, junked or blocked.?

Posting here as searching the Help Center for SPF returns zero results, and newest comments on SPF in here seem to be quite a while ago.?

Final Update: My group transfer was completed in about 2 days including transfer of the members and past emails.
Excellent and painless, I wish I'd done it sooner.
Heartfelt thanks to Shal for his advice and for the work of the team at Groups.io!
