As mentioned, this is only emailed to those you select and doesn't appear in the message archive. The special guest could see it in Activity, but not every moderator or owner visits activity regularly! And if the "birthday boy/girl" sees it, hopefully they will put on a wonderful surprise face at the event!

I have created a notice and then in Admin, Members, selected the people I wanted to send the message to. I used the Actions, Send Message - pasted the notice into the box. However it will appear in Admin, Activity. So if it is an active moderator, that wouldn't work.

How to prevent one person from seeing a single group email?
Hello! We sometimes have birthday surprises or events for a single person within an email group and we don't want them to see the email. What is the best way to temporarily keep that person from seeing the surprise notice? I tried "none" for owner email, but that failed lol. I don't know if it matters if that person is also a moderator. I appreciate any advice, thank you!? |

The final fall-back measure -- contacting groups.io support -- can be hit or miss. The main problem revolves around concern that a disgruntled former member could fabricate a story so as to engage in a group takeover or some other form of sabotage. The likelihood of such a thing may seem remote, but it only has to happen once.
?
To that end, you might want to provide so Mark can readily verify that your President has actually died.?

Hope this helps,

I am the Vice President of the Vintage Radio Control Society.? Our president Mike Denest has recently passed away.? He was the sole owner and moderator for our group. I would like to transfer the group ownership to me, but I am not familiar with how that could be done.? Can anyone advise me?

We have fewer than 12 messages a day, sometimes just 2-3 daily. ?Is that why former ¡°owner¡±, now a moderator, is not getting a daily digest?? Just to clear up some terminology to start with: there are digests (in either HTML or plain text format) and there's a Daily Summary.?? A digest is a collection of up to 12 messages.? If there have been less than 12 messages since the last one was sent, then a digest containing the remaining messages is sent at 06:00 local time.?? So, if are 15 messages are posted, then a digest will be sent at the 12th one and then the remaining 3 will be sent at 06:00.? If there are less than 12, then a digest will just be sent at 06:00. If no messages have been posted, then no digest will be sent.
?
A Daily Summary is sent at 06:00 local time an just contains links to the messages that have been posted so to read the message, you need to be online (and logged in if the messages relate to a private group).
?
The contents of the Digests and Daily Summary are determine by an individual's settings in terms of topics and/or hashtags they have muted or followed so one member's digest/summary can be different from another member.
?
You should check the email delivery history for the member concerned to determine if a message has been sent to them and whether Groups.io has reported any issues delivering that to their mail provider.

As Andy said, this is normal. The assumption is that if you invite someone to join you have already vetted them, decided you want them in your group. You can also create an active Welcome message that is sent out automatically to new members. ?

Re: email preference settings
Bruce -

I get posts from several groups by digest. Each digest contains the entirety of each message, so there's no need to follow a link. Attachments may be included as well, depending on your email size limits. Oversize attachments would have links, of course. You may be thinking of Daily Summary, which may have links to complete messages. I don't use Daily Summaries, so can't confirm. Full featured digests also have the advantage when opened of jumping to the desired message if you click on that title in the index at the beginning. I used to get plain digests, but switched to Full Featured for that ability. Digests provide thumbnails of relevant attachments with each message as well as links at the top. They also keep all messages in the same thread in that digest grouped together. Dan Stinson ___________________ On Mon, Feb 3, 2025 at 04:52 PM, Lori Huber wrote:
I have a few questions about the Email Delivery options. Individual messages: is there a way to include the original message with the replies to it? If the person composing the reply includes it, it will appear; but there is no way to force them to do so. Full Featured Digest or Plain Digest: It says ¡®up to 12 messages grouped together¡¯ but it doesn¡¯t give any clue how often it would be sent. Does it wait for several message but what happens if there aren¡¯t very many? Daily? Weekly? A digest is sent daily to each subscriber at around 6 am, assuming there are any messages to send. If 12 messages should accumulate during the day, a digest will be sent earlier. Since subscribers may be in different time zones and may have muted/followed different hashtags and topics, there is no guarantee that Subscriber A's digest will contain exactly the same messages as Subscriber B. Daily Summary: it says, ¡®..contains only a list of the topics posted..¡¯, does this mean to actually read them you have to follow a link? Yes, each topic in the Summary will have its own link. Please note that if the group's online message archive is private, they will also have to log in (or more generally, have an active login cookie). Hope this helps, Bruce |
