Carter,
We have a very shy member who doesn't want anyone else in the group toDoes she ever post messages? If so her email address will be sent to members who receive her post by individual messages. There is no way around that. I'd like to hide her completely from the directory listing members canIt is done by default. That is, the Directory is opt-in as far as members seeing each other's profile listed there. So unless she chose to make her Profile available to other members, it won't be. Note that even if she did, the Profile info does not contain her email address - it only includes whatever information the member chooses to put into their profile. It would have a button whereby other members could send her a message off-list, but that works without revealing her email address to the other member. However if she replies to the other member that reply would of course be From her email address.

As already indicated about individuals limititng info in their profile, the primary "protection" is to restrict membership, make the group private and not allow "reply to sender" in the settings.? The user can also sign in to groups.io with an email address which has not connection with her personal information or personal email address.? Patti |

If you want to regularly participate in the group but you don't want to create a separate nom de plume e-mail account for that, then my thinking was "pseudoanonymous remailers"... but after some googling I have come up short. Where have all the anonymizers gone? Samuel |
