Re: message numbers
The message numbers are shown in various places, depending on the view you've selected.? In Topics View, they don't show until you select a Topic.? Then they're at the upper right side of each post.? In Messages View, they're right after the posters name just below the snippet.? In Expanded View, they're at the upper right of each message.
In the Activity log, the message number is included when each message is posted.? On moderated messages, it's shown on the Approved entry. Duane |

Re: Members not seeing their own messages/spoofing

[This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be. Learn about spoofing at ]It appears to me that that message is sent by MS Office/Mail.? Maybe you could check with a few of the folks and see if that's what they have in common. All messages should be visible online.? If some folks aren't getting copies by email of things they send, it could be related to the default setting in gmail.? That can be corrected by each individual by selecting the checkbox for "I always want copies of my own messages" on the Preferences page of their Account.? There may be other services that also do this, but gmail is the most well known. Duane |

Re: Message Formatting
Another benefit of plain text is that people with vision limitations see text in their preferred font and size without having to do any conversion stuff. Plain text uses the recipient's own set preferences for font and size on their display.

I have a couple of groups set to Plain Text Only. That removes all formatting so you see only plain text. It has upset a few people that spend all that time making messages look 'just so', but they get used to it. ;>) I mainly used it so that folks like me on limited connections aren't having our bandwidth wasted. Many folks don't even realize that dial-up and other slow/limited connections still exists! Duane _._,_._,_ |

Re: reply to sender
Win,
?
You can't. The limitation is with those types of links ("mailto:"). Better to use your email interface's own Reply function, even though that may require copy/pasting the sender's address. And assuming you're not reading a digest.
Or use the View/Reply Online link rather than reply in your email interface. You can use the Private button there to reply to Sender instead of group (assuming Group is the group's default). ?
?
It is sort of at the edge between and your email interface. When a link is used to start a new message there are limits to what information can be passed in the link, and not all email interfaces support the same features.

Re: Message Formatting
Sharon, Plain Text Only strips out HTML formatting, leaving just the plain text of the message. Does ¡°strip out HTML messages¡± mean the messages aren¡¯t delivered? ??
Unlike the similar Yahoo Groups feature I don't believe it rejects messages which have no text/plain part. I suppose I should double-check that in my test group. Or you could, want an invite? ... but am not sure what ¡°normalizing¡± means. Does it strip formatting and leave plain text? Shal |

Re: Messages from non-subscribers
Sharon, I want to be sure that it means only subscribers of the main group can post to subgroups. Not the public. The main list is restricted. ?
Sorry, it means the public. One mitigation is that such messages are always moderated.
I have a subgroup set that way in my PTA group, and the number of "outsider" postings have been so small that I'm not sure I can remember if it has ever happened. But of course your mileage may vary - my PTA group isn't very large or well-known.
BTW, you've asked this one before, #5... ;-)
?
Is there a point by point explanation of these settings somewhere? The help page is slowly growing, but not there yet. Nor has anyone tackled the task in GMF's wiki that I know of.

Re: Messages from non-subscribers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMaybe hashtags would be a better solution than subgroups. Tag messages with #W6 or #W4C.Feature overview is here:?/static/features Details are here:?/static/help The pricing page is also a useful overview:?/static/pricing wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj ?(my?blog)
