Re: link to subscribe
Display names and User names are optional.? Some groups require one or both, while others prohibit them.? The site will try to fill in the Display name using email header information the first time

Re: link to subscribe
Thanks Frances.
The way I would summarize your (helpful) answer is that every group comes
with a URL named /g/GROUPNAME/join. You can make this
available in any website or email by

Re: Is there a way to re-send a poll
I just wanted to say that I have had people just respond the usual way - in an email - rather than using the poll widget.
If that happens for just a few, it isn't a big deal, in my

Re: Is there a way to re-send a poll
Not easily.? I think the closest you could get would be to send them a link to the message.? (They have to go online to vote anyway, so this would be practice for that.)

Re: Is there a way to re-send a poll
Here's one way.
Can you see it in messages archive on your site?
You can open that post and click on the # number to get the link URL.
Then send that out again.
It keeps the previous votes.

I completely agree with that. I receive hundreds of GIO messages every day, and I try really hard to follow all threads in which I am interested or have to administer, and a good number of the

Re: Reply to group keeps including the original message
Not unless they include it.? If they respond from the site, the default is to not include anything.? I seldom include any reference, but do my reading online, so not a problem.

Re: Reply to group keeps including the original message
As I stated, for each response, you can see the portion of the thread that
they responded to, which usually suffices for understanding the context of
what they sent.
Unless you throw away the emails

Re: Reply to group keeps including the original message
Alas, the autotrim only works on digests.
The most you can do if you are the owner of the group, is to ban TOFU/top-posting and insist that members use the proper "old-fashioned"

Re: Reply to group keeps including the original message
This is the usual argument, but it doesn't really hold water.
One person posts a message. Five people reply to it. They may quote the original, but they don't quote each other. You've already lost

Hi Emily
May I ask what is the reason for not wanting any previous text of the message being replied to?

Have at least some of the previous message can be extremely useful in providing context to what is being said.? The extra message text does not count towards your storage allocation so you don't need

Emily -
To better understand your situation, I'm curious why you're editing the messages. Groups.io automatically hides most of the quoted material beyond the post being replied to. What does remain

Re: Reply to group keeps including the original message
There is no default location for replies online.? In email, it depends on how the person has their program set up.? The quoted part can be on the top, bottom, or none.

FWIW, I like seeing the full history of the current thread up to the msg
that the member is responding to. If you hate it, you can just eliminate
the history for responses that you yourself
