Paul:
Yes I am using my rocketmail address account.
It is really a Yahoo account because Yahoo bought rocketmail many years ago.
They also gave me the r.rm as a username for whatever.
I never use it.

But it seems like Groups.io should send a reply to ALL when REPLY TO GROUP is enabled.
Suppose the recipient gets two copies. Payback for causing me a bunch of trouble.

One "offender" has deleted himself and I Invited him after that, using a different e-mail address.

Thanks, Richard

Yes, they bot exist in W10 but, why not use an attachment instead of using TXT only.

For every problem, there are literally dozens of simple and easy to understand solutions that are usually wrong.? In the case of setting someone to "nomail" - while it is, to most users, a simple and straightforward option, here's something that may have been overlooked:? SOMETIMES the reason people's email bounces is that they died, or they went into hospital for an extended stay, or something else happened (i.e., they changed email providers) to them or maybe their inboxes filled up and won't take any more mail.? You set them to "nomail" and YOU DON'T KNOW for sure WHY they're on "nomail" - and your subscriber file then becomes littered with invalid email addresses and you lose track of the people in your group.? Also, some people simply change email service providers because THEY get "too much spam" (and forget to tell all the lists and friends they have about the change).? So, they remember you as a great group, and they join with the new email address.? Then you have TWO subscriptions for one person - one of which is no longer valid, and the other which may stay valid for a while.? Why do I say "for a while?"? Because after doing this stuff for probably 30+ years, I can tell you that the reason people get spam is overwhelmingly a product of their "browsing habits."? If all they do is change the email address and not change browsing habits, it won't be long before that new email address starts giving them more "spam" just like the old one and they will change email address yet again.

While initially I thought the "nomail" option was a nice compromise, I think forcing the user to RTFM (Read The F'ing Manual) and keep his/her own house in order is actually the better solution, even if it means that some of your subscribers will leave in frustration.? If they do, they'll leave other places in frustration as well because they simply do not want to be bothered learning how to interact with email.? And, instant messaging and other social media options have their own problems as well.

I'm not surprised at the btinternet getting unsubscribed, must be one of those still serviced by Verizon/Yahoo.

BTInternet is a complex issue.

BT handles email inhouse for some of their subscribers.
Yahoo/Verizon handles email for some of their subscribers.

Is the list of the Email Providers that are known to cause Spam problems posted somewhere and if so, where?

Yes; see the "work - in - progress" wiki at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam, but please note that the list is not exactly definitive.Scroll down to Service Providers. ?

May I suggest that the sentence be :

Please note that this "marking as spam" may have been done either by you, or by your Email Service Provider.?

I've left the sentence as I wrote it for two reasons; firstly I cannot see any meaningful distinction between my original and your amendment, and secondly (and more importantly in my view) I had already submitted it as a formal suggestion on the beta group and I didn't want to risk annoying Mark by further tinkering for which I could see no obvious reason. He might already be a little peeved at being asked to do another change so soon after the previous rewording.

In other news, we had a "btinternet" user unsubscribed yesterday so the inclusion of that provider in the "risk list" would seem to have been appropriate.

This feature has just been added. See?

Note that it only works if the both the sending and the receiving user have their group profiles set up to allow other subscribers to "see" them in the Directory.

The intent of the long message footer is to provide basic subscription preferences (and group unsub functionality) to those who might never visit your group via the web.

If you have a custom message footer for your group, remove it. But it sounds like you've already done that.

In Message Policies, you can set a reply option and then click the box to "remove other reply options." This will make the footer somewhat shorter (at the cost of taking away some of your subscriber's reply options, of course).

Other than that, I'm afraid there's not a whole lot that you can do.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I have the privileges for Files set to Subscriber view, moderator upload, but there is a File Upload button available to subscribers. Is there something else that has to be done to prevent this button from appearing. The Photos setting is the same and no upload button appears for the photos.

Don't click on April. Click on the Messages tab on the menu bar at left. That will take you directly to the latest messages/topics, sorted in reverse order.

The calendar on the home page is for browsing the message archive.?I almost never use it.

Bruce

From trying this out in the test group, it seems to me that you could mention this in the Description field...just get into the habit of appending a sentence saying:? "Please click the 'Are You Going' link above to RSVP."

Unfortunately, if you permit subscribers to create calendar entries, this option becomes more problematical. It's also not particularly good for subscribers who might be getting plain-text message delivery, but I see no way around that.

Hello all,

Our group is new to Groups.io and I was wondering how to set my own messages to show the most recent messages first rather than the oldest.
I click on Date at the top and that changes the order and keeps it that way when I come back to our group.? That's fine but when I click on Home, then click on the messages for April (for example), it always shows the oldest first and I have to click again on Date.? When I go back in and repeat the Home, messages for April again, it shows the oldest messages first again.

I am interested in looking at recent messages usually and not the old ones I have already looked at.

When I receive mails from a group I manage, the footer is extremely large. How can I change this to be shorter? I've configured the "Message Footer" from the settings tab, but it's only shown in the middle of that huge footer.

Thanks

I've copied the complete footer below:
