I wish to reply to one of my own messages, but can't find a way to add an attachment to the reply.Marina -- Use the paperclip icon, not the link icon. See screenshot below. How can I add an attachment?If the paperclip icon is absent, double-check your group settings in Message Formatting. If you have attachments set to either "bounce" or "strip," the icon will not appear. Hope this helps, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |
I don't see any formatting bar in my message box. Maybe because my group is set to Normalize HTML Emails?
So there is no paperclip icon (that's what I meant by "link" icon, sorry for my imperfect English). I double checked under Settings > Message Formatting > Attachments are actually set to Moderated. So they should be allowed. Where did I go wrong? Marina |

Also check your account setting for your Editor Preference on /account?page=prefs? The other icons won't show up if you've chosen Plain Text or Markdown.I edited my Preferences and chose HTML (I was in Plain Text). At last, I can see all icons, including the paperclip! Thank you, Bruce and Duane. Just one more silly question: where do attachments go? My group is set to Delete old attachments,? but I'd rather check and delete them myself. Regards, Marina |

Attached photos can be deleted via the Emailed Photos folder, but any other attachments have to be deleted by editing the message. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/7120?
