...... and not very IT savvy, I need some help please

I run a group for my rural village, we have been using yahoo groups but it has limitations; furthermore, a lot of members are not sophisticated IT users, they will read an emailed daily digest but may not want to navigate the groups home page

We use the group more for "announcements" than for "conversations" so a daily digest works for most members. However it is unlikely that they will make much use of the home page, I would like them to see the following in the daily digest and wonder if it can be done?

Yahoo allows me to put a footer on the daily digest, I use it for forthcoming events and edit it from time to time. I can see a calendar function here but no "footer". Is there a way of putting a footer into the daily digest?

Similarly, I would like to add a village business directory in the daily digest, or at the very least a one click link to the database

Similarly I would like photos and other file attachments to be visible in the daily digest, or a one click link

Is any of this possible?

Thank you

Jeremy,

Yahoo allows me to put a footer on the daily digest, I use it for
forthcoming events and edit it from time to time. I can see a calendar
function here but no "footer". Is there a way of putting a footer into
the daily digest?

You may have discovered an oversight. I would have thought that the "Message Footer" text (on the Settings page) would have been applied to digests also. But I'm not seeing any examples of it happening.

Similarly, I would like to add a village business directory in the daily
digest, or at the very least a one click link to the database

I would say that the message footer would be the place for that, but it is plain text so the URL you provide may or may not end up clickable.

Similarly I would like photos and other file attachments to be visible
in the daily digest, or a one click link

Photos and attachments to messages in the digest are available by clicking the "View This Message" link - which takes one to the site to view the message.

The only way I can think of to cause a regular such message to appear in each digest would be to set it up as a calendar event that repeats daily and has a reminder. The event description (which can be HTML formatted) could have embedded photos, but it can't (yet) carry attachments.

There's a TODO item for including attachments in messages posted by web, but I don't know if that would apply to event reminders.
