TWO QUESTIONS #howto

Ellen Bourne
 

1. Can you email to individuals/several people using group.io?? If you can how would you do so.
2. If you receive an email in your personal email and you want to email to the group.io distribution list?are you able to do so.?If you can how will this be done?
 

Question 1 -
1. Can you email to individuals/several people using group.io?? If you can how would you do so.not sure what you mean. Reply off list to just a few people? Not sure.
It is easy to reply privately (off list) to just one person.?
If you are replying through your email, reply by clicking on reply to sender in the footer.?
(I believe that doesn't work if you are set to plain text. Recent discussion about this.)

I do it through the home page. I click on reply and type and then click on Private (bottom right corner) instead of the green Reply to Group.

Question 2 -?
2. If you receive an email in your personal email and you want to email to the group.io distribution list?are you able to do so.?If you can how will this be done?
That's easy! Just start an email. The only tricky part is that you have to use the email address you are using as a member.
Except you can set an email alias that allows you to use another email address instead. Set that up on your group site - go to your name in the top right corner. In Account, scroll down and click to open Advanced Settings for Email Aliases. This is useful if you wanted to email to a group from your work computer. Your group email address is on the homepage of your group.?

Great Frances.. Thank you I will try them out and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the help.. This is my first go around with Group.io and I am sure the group will have some question so I want to be able to answer a few questions.

Hello Frances, Bruce, etc. ¨C Thanx for that reply.

So while we ARE able to email to individuals using group.io, we cannot however send email to several people at once using group.io?

Or can we?? And if we are able to then we can select 'privete' to do so? Or how???

Just wanting some further clarification on that second (multiple) option.

Ellen,

1. Can you email to individuals/several people using ?

You, a moderator of the group, can checkmark members in the Members list and use the Send Message item in the Actions menu to send to just those members. You can use the Member Notices feature in the Settings page of your group to create and maintain a set of stock messages to select from when you send.

You, a member of the group, can click the Email button on an individual member's Directory entry, if the Directory is available to the group members (that's a group option) and if the member in question has made their profile available in the directory (that's a subscription option). In this case you won't see the other member's email address unless they reply to you, but yours will be in the From field of the message you send to them.

And, as Frances mentioned you, a member, can make a Private reply to a member's post. Same rule as above, you don't see their address unless they reply to you, but your address is in the From field of the message you send. Same thing if the group's Reply To is set to Sender instead of to Group.

And of course, you can use your email service to send messages to anyone whose address you have. If you subscribe to individual messages you'll receive other member's addresses in the From field of messages they post to the group

2. If you receive an email in your personal email and you want to email to the distribution list?are you able to do so.?If you can how will this be done?

If you mean an email that didn't come from the group, you'd have to use your email interface to forward that message to the group's posting address. How you do that depends on your email interface.

Am I right in my assumption that private replies get sent to the member's email regardless of their email settings? (I'm thinking of members who have selected "no email").

Thanks

Yes, I believe that a member would get private email regardless of their email settings.
?
The help page says:

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?.

Ken,

member's email regardless of their email settings? (I'm thinking of
members who have selected "no email").
Correct.

The subscription settings for Email Delivery and the Advanced Preferences apply only to group postings.
