Re: Links in digest
Su,
The only solution I can think of then is to tell members about it. AnyWhether forwarded content gets wrapped in a blockquote or not may be an option in some email interfaces. Thunderbird does not do that. It has two choices for forwarded content: " inline" and "as attachment". When Inline is selected it puts a header block in front of the forwarded message, as below.

Most of the time, that is a very good thing. The only solution I can think of then is to tell members about it. Any other ideas?

Thank you everyone.?
I discovered that in Photos I can export it as jpeg or png, save it somewhere on my computer ant then upload the photo to Groups.io. Looks great on the group website or in email. Go to File, Export.

Re: Can we disable replies to a posting?
Larry,
I'm still waiting to see full headers from someone who has setExample 1: To: [email protected]Note the lack of a Reply-To: field. It isn't needed because in this case the reply should go to the From address. Example 2: From: "Shal's name via Groups.Io" <shalstest_new@...>Note this time there is a Reply-To field. It is required in cases where the sender's email address has been munged for DMARC. The From field contains an address which won't accept messages, but will satisfy Yahoo Mail's demand that lists not send messages "From" them. /static/help#dmarc Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

I searched in GroupManagersForum and found that only public group can use RSS feed. But I can't find an option to change my group from private to public.No. Once you make your message archives private, you can't change it back. You should have received a warning to that effect when you first made it private. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/23164?for an explanation. Bruce |

Re: Hiding contact info from others
Carter,
We have a very shy member who doesn't want anyone else in the group toDoes she ever post messages? If so her email address will be sent to members who receive her post by individual messages. There is no way around that. I'd like to hide her completely from the directory listing members canIt is done by default. That is, the Directory is opt-in as far as members seeing each other's profile listed there. So unless she chose to make her Profile available to other members, it won't be. Note that even if she did, the Profile info does not contain her email address - it only includes whatever information the member chooses to put into their profile. It would have a button whereby other members could send her a message off-list, but that works without revealing her email address to the other member. However if she replies to the other member that reply would of course be From her email address.

Eva,
I cannot start a new transfer.. I get this error message:Have you resolved this yet? As Bruce and Duane mentioned, that prior (or current) transfer must be deleted before you can start a new one from that Yahoo Group. That could have been yourself, yourself logged in using a different email address, or someone else. If you can't figure out who it is, then only support can help you. I've written Mark directly with no answer.I'm not sure what you mean by "directly", but if you have already upgraded your destination Group to Premium Yearly then you should receive priority response from [email protected]. But even so it may be a while, as there's apparently quite a backlog. I'm fine with deleting the subgroup if I could get the informationI don't see how that could be helpful. You should target the transfer for whichever Groups.io primary or subgroup you intend to contain the content of the Yahoo Group - there's no easy way to move content between groups and/or subgroups.

Re: Links in digest
The Groups.io help and linked to the wiki says:
Email Delivery
?
The Email Delivery options control how you wish to receive group emails.
?
Individual Messages will send each email individually, as soon as it's posted.
?
Full Featured Digest will group the days messages into batches of 12 and send each batch when the twelvth is posted. Any that remain at the end of the day will be sent as the final (or only) digest of the day. The digests include the full text of each message, omitting any quotes of prior messages. Full Featured Digests include at the top a list of the enclosed topics, clickable as links to take you to that topic.
?
Plain Digest works the same way, but is sent as a text/plain email message, with no clickable links.
?
Daily Summary sends a once-daily list of topics posted that day. Unlike the digests the summary does not include the text of any of the messages, only the list of topics.
?
Special Notices Only sends only those messages which a moderator has designated as a Special Notice.
?
No Email (not available in all groups) sends no posted messages to you by email. You may still receive individual notifications from the group and/or from Groups.io.
