Displaying full e-mail address in messages


Dennis Storzek
 

Hi,
I manage a couple small groups, and just noticed that groups.io automatically hides full e-mail addresses in the message text. That is a good idea, but there are times when one wants the e-mail address visible to the public. Is there a way to force groups.io to display an address? I looked, but didn't find anything.

Any reason? ?People can do a private reply if they wish. Email footers show the option and online on the group site, you can click on Private (bottom right).?

Go to Admin > Settings, scroll down to the Privacy section, in the Hide Email Addresses In Archives drop down, select "Do not mask email addresses in the archives."? If you have a group with public archives, I wouldn't do that because anyone on the internet can see it.? If you have private archives, it may not be a problem.

To do this without changing group settings you can type email addresses as "user(at)domain" to make them readable in message text.

In To: or From: addresses you'd need to include a plain text part containing the email address... something like...
From: 'user(at)domain' <user@domain>

Not to non-members. For members you can turn off the masking using the setting Duane described.

So your only option may be a work-around such as Jim suggested.

Hi,
If your group messages are moderated, the email address in the pending message can be highlighted and switched to plain text, i.e., without the underline and the color change that would eventually figleaf it. That is one of three options offered by the system.

You would start your message with a note to the moderator requesting that edit.

Hope that helps,
Linda

Thanks to all who responded.?

I've now seen the re-mailed messages (I hadn't checked my e-mail yet when I asked, just the message displayed on the group home page) and was surprised to see the full address displayed. Sounds like the procedure Duane outlined will also display it to members on the homepage, and that is really enough.

Thanks again,
Dennis Storzek
