Re: Special Notices. What constitutes a special notice and how does a moderator create one?
Hi Frances,
I'm trying to send a special notice from the group site. ?I can't find the message box, let alone the special notice box above the message box. ?Can you help me? ?So far what I have gleaned from this archive is that to send a message to the group I have to click all the members' names and then use the action pulldown at the bottom of the page. ?Someone mentioned that you can make the list of members infinite instead of 25 per page, but I can't find a setting for that either. Thanks, Sally |

The resulting mbox file does contain header information. Open it in a text editor, and do a search on that for the desired search string[s]. Mbox files can also be opened in Thunderbird or Apple Mail and probably some other email clients, too. Not particularly convenient, but if you find yourself in desperate need of this, it might serve.

The Past Member list does not work for past members from a migrated Yahoo group. It only shows members who left after the group was migrated to Groups.io.Posterid is the primary subscription identifier. A single account/email address can have multiple posterids, one per group.? The way I understand it, only accounts that are 1) currently active in your Yahoo group and 2) not in Bouncing status, are transferred. At that time, a groups.io account is created for each of those email address (if not already present) and a posterid in your group is assigned. Later in the same transfer, incoming messages are compared against those email addresses and if any matches are found, they are mapped to the corresponding posterid. If there is no corresponding email address among the subscribers, the posterid is left empty. Something similar happens if a person leaves the group. This leaves such messages orphaned, as far as these kinds of searches are concerned. If not, any other ways of doing this?As I mentioned earlier, for activities that occurred after the transfer, you can search the Activity Log for his email address. But for posts that occurred before the transfer, for people who are not current subscribers, I really think you're stuck with sig line content or quoted text or other such references that may have appeared in the message body.

Re: Searching for Posts by Member Name or Email Address
Thanks, Bruce.
The Past Member list does not work for past members from a migrated Yahoo group. It only shows members who left after the group was migrated to Groups.io. Is there a unique posterid available for members who left before the group as migrated? If not, any other ways of doing this? Regards, Stan |

Re: Including Entire Thread in Emails
#email
#reply-to-group
#thread
That reminds me of the early "good ol' days" when folks kept using the Reply All function and email boxes got filled real quick with these huge email files for those days. I ended up actually automatically deleting emails from certain relatives of mine who made this a practice. It was almost as bad as folks using All Caps when writing, which those not interested to learn apparently did not know was the equivalent of yelling and shouting at someone.
I do like the idea of context, but Chris' mention of quotes is exactly what we expect from authors, bloggers, speakers, writers, and more. Email is an actual writing product, and while we certainly don't have to be experts to write or use email there are protocols established that are acceptable usually across the world (and I apply that to messenger and tweets for myself). I'm going to have to figure out a good approach and how to word it simply, plainly, and thorough enough. As a trainer, instructor, and educator I can also know some folks just won't be responsible or learn. But then that is where discipline applied by moderators of a group can keep an eye out for and have a basis for handling the situations as they arise without coming across as mere authoritarians or as predominantly?opinionated. IMO. I've been bouncing around since 1978 on computers, back when we had tape drives. Wow. |
