Re: Images - Copyright and other related issues?
Jim,
As in I can require all images (photos and files) to be moderated -Note, I'm not talking about images uploaded to the Photos section, or Files uploaded to the Files section. Those are different from images embedded in or attached to messages. You have the option to bounce, strip or moderate messages with Attachments. That includes attached files and images. But embedded images may be contained in the HTML message body (data type), hosted remotely (http type) or attached to the message (cid type). I think only the latter would be affected by the Attachments control. See also this message on a related subject: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/4622 and can't I prevent images from being embedded in posts.You can force messages to be plain text only. That's a bit more extreme than blocking or stripping just the embedded images.

Re: Mail Delivery Issue w/ Comcast/Outlook
Yes, he says it's not in the Junk E-mail folder. I'm glad to hear Comcast/Outlook is working for you. I will pass that along to him.

Re: Mail Delivery Issue w/ Comcast/Outlook
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHe can send email from Outlook to his group at groups.io. That works.

odd reason. He is using POP3 in Outlook to transfer his mail. I suggested he reset his Comcast email password. Computers do strange things. It will likely be a strange action that solves it. I suggested it could be some filter in Outlook that denies email address other than .com, .edu, etc. Thank you for replying. I'll let you know if he resolves the strange issue.

Maybe they are getting to Outlook, but Outlook is hiding those messages, or sequestering them in a local Spam/Junk folder. Another possibility would be a filter in Outlook, but it would seem to be an unlucky coincidence that a filter set up for some prior purpose happened to match groups.io messages. If they appear in his Comcast Inbox, I can't think of a way (using either POP or IMAP) that they wouldn't be seen by Outlook.

Re: Images - Copyright and other related issues?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI¡¯m not sure if embedded images are stored in the Emailed Photos album or not, but if they are you can delete them. If they are not stored in that album, probably the only option is to delete the post they were embedded in. I would suggest to your members to be careful about what images they post (Embedded or Attached), and if they won¡¯t then your only option to stop that practice is to kick the offender out of the group. ?

Re: Email addresses
I asked Mark about this exact question not too long ago. He cautioned me that there could be many ramifications to doing this and to be very cautious. When you change a member's email address, you change it for his groups.io identity, so it changes it for every group the member is in. Given the situation I was dealing with, I opted for a new invitation to his new email address as the safer alternative.Can I edit the email address of a group member?Only if you have a Premium or Enterprise group. Not with I don't know if there are complications if a person subscribes under a different email address, essentially creating a new groups.io identity, and then that person changes the email on their original identity for other groups.
