Re: member unsubscribed for 'marking a message as spam'?

PC| Here's another possible solution. | Gmail (which generally doesn't have | the problem we're discussing) lets | you define filters that look for | certain characteristics of an email, | such as keywords or the sender's | address, and take various actions. | At times I have had to set up a | filter to NOT send certain emails | to the spam folder. So if a user's | ISP has this capability and the user | is savvy enough to use it, it's an | option. For this solution to work, it would be necessary for the ISP to process the user's filters BEFORE determining what is spam or not. In the case of Outlook.com, for example, unfortunately the ISP first determines what is SPAM, before executing the filters created by the user. That is the reason why nothing works on Outlook.com.

Re: Member Notification After Wiki Change
Don
I was interested in what you found so I did a test to cpom[pare my last two revisions.? The result (screenshot below) Additions were highlighted in green.? Deletions were highlighted in red (pink?) Actually it's not quite 100% correct -- see the text "Test Image."? I did not remove?or add?that text between the two versions -- I removed and pasted in only images, so I can't explain why Gio highlighted those as changes?? I did mess w/ that text in earlier versions, but not between the two I compared. Also, the comparison does not show images that were deleted/added. It's not easy to follow the history comparison because it appears to me that blank lines are added into the differences.? Still, it would be useful if, say, I unintentionally (or intentionally, I suppose) deleted a chunk of text that I needed to retrieve and copy/clean up, and paste back onto that or another page or into a message. |

Member Notification After Wiki Change
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy group has a Links page I built using the Wiki, and I have never ticked the box to notified members after making changes. This last time I did tick that box to see what the notification would look like, and I have to say I wasn¡¯t impressed with the email notification. In the notification there is a link called Compare Revisions, and when I click on it I get a list of everything on the Links page minus active links. There is no way to compare the revised page against the previous page, because nothing stands out to show what has been revised. What is the purpose of this Compare Revisions link? ? Don |

One way to unmoderated yourself is to go to Admin, Members, select your name, scroll down to Posting Privileges. Be sure to Save. However many group owners prefer to have themselves moderated, just as the group is. As a Canadian, I would say it gives me "sober second thought" as we say about our Senate!

I have a <btinternet.com> email address subscribed to my group and have not had any problems with losing group access because of having a message marked as spam. It is for my second presence as Group owner, but that shouldn't make any difference.

Export Database Function
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have used the Export Table function in the past to save a database in the CVS format on my computer, and have used this same function before in backing up and overwriting this file on my computer. I tried to Export again to this file to update it, but after selecting Export Table and CVS Format it automatically opened the file on my computer, without me selecting the file I wanted opened. The file opened in Excel was the old file I wanted to Export to for updating, and I am at a loss at what to do now. Am I doing something wrong? ? Don |

Missing messages on website
On the website a new thread/topic appeared, but it started with a member posting two responses to the original post.? I couldn't see that original post on the website and the message count for the topic was only two - i.e.the two responses that I could see, with the original post not included in the count.? I could only see the original post by clicking "Show quoted text" on the response.? When the daily digest arrived I checked and there was indeed an earlier post that started the thread, and other members had responded to it.? Back on the website I could see the responses, but still not the original post.? Subsequent posts by the OP to the same topic did appear. Penny |

Re: member unsubscribed for 'marking a message as spam'?
I agree. I have a hotmail account (now Outlook), and there are a couple of regular senders whose emails always go into the Junk folder, no matter that I mark them Not Junk every time! Jenny ![]() On Sun, Aug 16, 2020 at 10:40 PM Rubens <rubens.alves@...> wrote: ... |
