In trying to reply to a message in Full Digest it says: Do not reply to this email. To reply to a message, click the Reply link under the message.
I'm working in Outlook and when I click either Reply to Group or Reply to Sender, it opens Windows Mail. So I tried opening the digest mail there, clicked on Reply to Group and it opened another Windows mail window. I tried this a number of times.? What am I doing wrong???D

Hi Ruth,

Yes, the digest has Do not reply to this email. To reply to a message, click the Reply link under the message.

Unless you choose to reply online, that's the way it works.? You're sending a reply email to the group or sender.

Ruth -- Which program opens when you click on a mailto: link?depends on your local settings. Windows Mail will continue to be your default email client until you change it.?See??and similar articles on the web.

Yes, traditionally that's how it used to be. You correct the email-address you want the message to go to, put in the correct subjectline, and delete all non-relevant pieces of quote.

I'm not sure whether it will end up in the right thread in groups.io though. I think it should, but it's not my decision..

The way groups.io is set up you're supposed to click "reply to this message" and compose your reply online. This makes it harder to reply to several messages in the same digest in one go.

I'm not sure why Reply to Sender, or Reply to Group doesn't open a reply, but opens a new mail window where I get to see all my mail.? Yes, I can go to groups.io, find the message I want to reply to and type a reply, as I am doing here. Just don't understand why there's a Reply to sender option, if it's not usable.?

Ah! Thank you for clarifying that.

What it's?supposed to do is
--Open that new mail window
--Create a new mail item
--Insert the proper [mygroup]@groups.io address
--Insert the proper Subject (same Topic)
Move the Insertion Pointer into the body

This is done (hover your cursor over the "Reply to Group" link and look at the bottom of the screen) by the URL associated with "Reply to Group", which looks like this:
mailto:[email protected]&Subject=MyTopic

Your mail isn't quite configured right, so the window opens, but the rest of the info (To, Subject) is not honored. How you do this depends on what application you use for mail.

Ruth -- I already gave you the answer to this in message #24753. For your convenience I am pasting the corresponding section of that web page below. Follow the instructions and change the Current Default entry for MAILTO links from Windows 10 Mail to Outlook and you should be set.

The following was cut-and-pasted from?

There’s nothing you need to configure if you have decided to stick with the mail client that came bundled with your operating system. But if you use a third-party email client like Thunderbird [or Outlook], you can set that as the systemwide default for everything to do with email. Here’s how you can do that on the top three desktop?operating systems.

On Windows 7 through 10, first go to?Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Associations?and click on?Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Now scroll down to the?Protocols?section, look for the?MAILTO?row, and double-click on it.

You’ll then be able to select an email client of your choice (provided you have already installed it on your computer) from the popup that appears. You’ll also find an option to get an email app from the Windows Store and immediately associate it with mailto: links from the popup.

Sorry Bruce; I didn’t “get” it the first time. Here I use gmail, but on an alternate Groups IO account, I use Hotmail via Outlook and that’s where my problem is/was. I didn’t realize that Outlook wasn’t my default email and never ran into this problem before.? Following the instructions and after poking around for 20 minutes – and I realize that whatever how-tos describe as the procedure, there’s many views and way to get there, but the final process for me was (on Windows 10):

Control Panel Items, click on Control Panel in URL area, Programs>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program, click on app under Email, select Outlook

And that worked.? Thanks a bunch Bruce.
