I am about to combine some of our small groups and make them subgroups rather than stand alone groups.

Is there a way of allowing subgroup members to choose No Emails in the Main Group when that option is not available to general main group members

Our subgroup members will only be interested in what happens in that group not what is going on in the Main group.

Hope this makes sense,
TIA
Pamela

Members can make email settings for each group and subgroup, so you could do what you want to a point.? On groups with No Email disabled, they could set it to Special Notices, but it would be up to you and other owners to minimize those.? You could set up some defaults to try to do what you want for new members, but it won't effect existing members.? For existing members, you or they would need to make the changes.

There is no Override setting available to group owners to fine-tune email delivery as there is for Posting Privileges. As Duane stated, you would have to enable No Email for all of the main group members and then find some way to police email delivery on a subscriber-by-subscriber basis; with the understanding that the individual can subvert this at any time by clicking on the Subscription button and changing their own settings.?

Unless there is some compelling member management benefit that I don't understand yet, I feel you will be better served by keeping the groups separate.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Thanks Duane and Bruce for your insights.
We are a charity knitting group - Australia wide - and looking at combining our smaller State Groups all into one area.
I am testing this but I think the problem will be solved by setting all of the subgroup members email delivery in the Main group to Special Notices only.
It is the many Event reminders (concerning our meetings across the country) that are the problem.
Fingers crossed this will be the answer and I can go ahead and combine the groups.

I must say, the help and advice that is available on the GMF is invaluable to us newbies!!
