muting a topic
I have a subscriber trying to mute a topic, let's say subject is?"Wednesday Meeting".? He clicks on "mute this topic" and confirms. A week later the same message shows up in his email. He says he looked at muted topics?and the message "Wednesday Meeting"??is muted multiple times. Looking at all messages to my group I find the weekly message "Wednesday Meeting" each week.. Interestingly it always shows up a new message, never in an existing?topic "Wednesday Meeting". The subject lines are identical, not sure why it would not show up as a topic with multiple messages.
I tested "mute this message" in a test group and it works just fine. Both messages with subject "Test mute this message" showed up in a single topic with 2 messages. My muted subscription did not receive the second message.. Any ideas? |

Muting doesn't use the title/subject, it uses the topic/thread.

And, in cases like this, which is where a "standard subject" is reused cyclically, using "mute topic" doesn't even make sense, really, for the reason Duane has already mentioned.
This is precisely what e-mail filters/rules were created for.? The person who doesn't want to ever see "Wednesday Meeting" if it originates from [email protected]?had ought to create an e-mail filter in his or her e-mail client or webmail that immediately moves the message to their Trash (NOT SPAM - this can sometimes result in behind the scenes marking which is not wanted) folder.? They'll never see another one again, at least if it comes from the address noted in the rule or filter. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 ????

Duane, Thanks for the quick response. So a new email with the same subject creates a new topic? I'm scratching my head to understand why in my test group I sent an email "testing muting a topic" from a user.? I then muted that topic in my email and then sent another?email with same subject from the first email. It posted on the website as a second message in the topic "testing muting a topic". I did not receive an email from the second message. I know I'm missing something. I much appreciate your insight.

The process for creating new topics depends on whether the reply is by email or online, and there is also a time component for the former. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Avoiding-threading-topics---threading-algorithm?for details on how groups.io creates new topics.? Regards, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |
Bruce, I have learned something new today. Thanks for your help? on subject "muting a topic". The time part of algorithm was unknown to me.
