I have searched, but I can't find an easy answer so need to ask.

Is there a way to set up a hashtag for a group and have every new topic/message have that inserted without the member manually adding it?? Example - in a meeting subgroup, set up a hashtag for "#meeting" and have that appended to every subject line in that subgroup?
Thanks

There are some aspects of hashtags (set Topic Duration, lock immediately, etc) that could be a desirable automated feature for a [sub]group and cannot be achieved in any other way. Unfortunately, at?this time hashtags have to be inserted manually into each topic, the exceptions being the automated announcement ones (like #poll and #chat).

You can create a situation via group settings whereby the group requires hashtags?and there is only one available, thereby forcing everybody to include the hashtag if they don't want their post to bounce. Most group owners have found that idea too objectionable for further consideration.

I have even tried embedding a hashtag in the group's Subject Tag, hoping it would be applied. But it seems the message subject line is parsed for hashtags before the subject tag is inserted, so that attempt also failed.

I hope this helps, but it probably doesn't.

Thanks Bruce,
That is what I was afraid of.? I have someone who wants the subject line to always include the name of the main group along with the subgroup so that she can filter emails easily. I really don't want to rename all of the subgroups to include the name of the main group, and I guess that I'm not as sympathetic as I should be.? I was hoping that a forced hashtag would be a compromise, but I guess not.

Any ideas are always appreciated.
Thanks
Beth

Okay, that's an entirely different situation from what you first described.

If it doesn't have to actually function as a hashtag, you can do this with the Subject Tag. Note that GroupManagersForum has a subject tag of [GMF].

Go to Admin>Settings>Message Formatting for each group/subgroup and change it to whatever you want. This will only affect EMAILS, though...the Subject Tag will not appear in the message archive.
?

The email header contains a line labelled "List-Id:" that contains the email address of the group (and I assume subgroup). She could try filtering on that header.

That has the added benefit of identifying the group the email came from even when it was crossposted from elsewhere and the subject line contains a tag from another group.

Thank you both so much,
One day I'm going to take the Setting page and document what each field really means - of course I have to know what each field does first, hmmm
Bruce, the change worked beautifully.
Jim, you are over my head, but I passed your comments along.
