I have a question about making subgroups. If I make a subgroup in one of my groups, will all of the people in my group and the subgroup, receive email from both groups?


Thanks for any help or advice for this.

Marie,

If I make a subgroup in one of my groups, will all of the people in my
group and the subgroup, receive email from both groups?

Everyone who is a member of both the primary and the subgroup will receive messages from both the primary and the subgroup. Subject to their subscription settings (which are separate - they can be digest in one and individual in the other).

Note that no one can be a member of the subgroup without also being a member of the primary group - that's the meaning of subgroup here: each subgroup is a subset of the primary membership.

Note also that when you create the subgroup no one will be automatically made a member of it - you'll have to add primary group members to the subgroup, and/or allow them to join on their own.

When we were looking to move from Yahoo to IO we decided to use ONLY subgroups for actual messages and conversations and us the main group only to hold the member accounts as required to have a subgroup.? Our reasoning was that in Yahoo we had? people in group A who were not in B,? in B and A but not C,? In C & B but not A, etc.? In other words there was no single group that had everyone.? So, when we set up IO, we created the MAIN group with settings that would not permit postings, adding files, adding images, etc.? In other words the only thing one could do was join or leave the group.? Then we use as subgroup for all the things we really need.? ?In our case, we are using all private groups (and subgroups) and only use Direct Add as the means for getting people into groups (no invites, no "request to join") so having to add manage the member in MAIN as well as the subgroups they need to be in was not a big deal for us.? I'm not sure how this idea would work open groups.

I have searched and searched trying to find a way (as moderator) to set subscription settings to the subgroup.? I found the settings that enable setting email choices (indivudal, digest, etc) for the Main list, but there appears to be no option to set the email settings to the subgroup.? Yet above uou say"Everyone who is a member of both the primary and the subgroup will receive messages from both the primary and the subgroup. Subject to their subscription settings (which are separate - they can be digest in one and individual in the other).
