Re: switch from yahoo groups to groups.io
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFrances, will our group members get ?email messages from ?inviting them to sign up for our group on ? If they will, we need to hurry up and post our own message to our members.I have not had a chance to find out what we should tell our members about what they have to do (if anything) to join our group on , how to get to the message board and how to post to the group via email. Can you tell me or point me to explanations for these questions? ? Our group is always on moderation for all members except owners and mods. It can be seen in the directory but approval is required to become a member. To find out if they are eligible a short message goes out when they click the join button. It says ¡°tell us why you want to join.¡± Then they send back a sentence or two of explanation.

Re: switch from yahoo groups to groups.io
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYes, that is correct - exactly what I did. We¡¯re working on our welcome message. For now, I de-activated it until we can decide exactly what to say. We plan to post our own message to our Yahoo group informing members of the coming change, so they won¡¯t be surprised.On Oct 19, 2019, at 11:29 PM, Frances <frances@...> wrote: Susan, you have your group, and you changed it to Premium.

Susan, you have your Groups.io group, and you changed it to Premium. And you went to YahooGroups and invited the Groups.io transfer email address.

Re: switch from yahoo groups to groups.io
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBruce, never mind - I think I found what you were talking about. You have to click the button at the bottom of the page you linked to. The button says Yahoo Group Instructions and when the new page shows up, look down in the right hand corner here.?/yahootransfer??When I look there I see a blank box with the words ¡°You have no transfers in process or completed."I did issue an invitation from our group to the transfer agent a little while ago.?

This is what I do: MAKE YOUR GROUP 'Restricted Membership' and use a "Pending Subscription Message" Admin > Settings > Spam Control Check the box next to "Restricted Membership" I also recommend checking the box next to "New Users Moderated" and use the "Unmoderate After" menu to select "1, 2, 3, or 4 approved messages" Click on "Update Group" at bottom of page. -- Admin > Settings Click on "Member Notices" Click on "+New Notice" Select "Pending Subscription" from "Notice Type" menu I change the message "Subject" from: Your pending membership in the [email protected] group to: Additional Information Required Make sure box next to "Active Message" is checked. Compose your "Pending Subscription" message telling them what you want to approve their membership I suggest you tell them why and who wants it. Click "Add Notice" -- This "Pending Subscription Message" (sent to anyone who applies to join) and the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice that is sent to Owner/Moderator will both be sent at the same time, and a 14 day clock before the subscription application is automatically deleted will be started. The "Pending Subscription Message" will not delay the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice, however an Owner/Moderator can put the 14 day clock on hold by 'Claiming' the application. Click on "View Pending Member" in the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice email, or go to the group's website Admin > Members Select "Pending Members" (in the drop-down Members menu) if not already shown Click on the row (not the check box) of the Pending Member Click on "Claim Sub" at bottom of the page The words "Claimed by <your name>" will appear in a blue box to the right of the applicant's email address Now the 14 clock has been stopped and only you can approve this Subscription by email. NOTE: All Owners and any Moderator (with appropriate privileges) can still approve this Subscription at anytime at the website. This allows you to wait until you get a reply to the "Pending Subscription Message". To resend the "Pending Subscription Message" (if you get no response): Check the box at the left end of that Pending Member's row Select "Resend Pending Membership Notice" in the drop-down "Actions" menu Click "Yes" in the "Verify Action" dialog window. |

Re: Problem replying in Thunderbird using message footer link

Glenn,
Importantly, it has to work with every Mail User Agent (MUA) thatBingo. That's the core of the issue. In testing Mark discovered that many email interfaces would not use a body="text to put in the message body" parameter to the mailto: link. So for that reason, plus the fact that including it would make the link rather huge (in many cases), Mark decided not to include it.
