Individual vs Digest messages - links at bottom of emails differ


 

I've noticed that there is a set of links available at the bottom of Individual messages from groups.io, that do not appear at the bottom of Digest messages.?

The Individual messages have the standard reply options (View/Reply online, Reply to Group, Reply to Sender, Mute this Topic, New Topic).? Then below that, there are the additional options (Change Subscription, Group Home, Contact Group Owner, Terms of Service, Unsubscribe).?

When messages are received in Digest form, there are the standard reply options listed under each message.? But the additional options available in Individual form, are not shown below the final message in the Digest.? There does appear at the very top of the Digest, the link to Change Subscription.? And at the very bottom, a link to Unsubscribe.?

I think the additional options should be added to the bottom of the Digest form, as they could be useful to any subscribers, regardless of their choice of message delivery.
I would particularly like to see a link to Group Home.? I keep getting questions from my "older" members (I'm one of them), who aren't sure how to get to the website to view photos or files that are mentioned in their email messages.? They were used to clicking on the thumbnails in the Y!Group Update messages that told them photos had been added.? (One of the few things about Y! that I miss.? That, and the options for reorganizing photos.? But I understand those things are perhaps on the ToDo list.)

I checked the settings for my group, to make sure there was nothing i could change.? I also have a couple of test subscriptions so that I can see messages as non-owners are seeing them, both on Individual and Digest delivery.? Am I missing something?

Dotty,

I would particularly like to see a link to Group Home.
Mark may have been too clever by half. The group's email address appears in the Digest header and the footer, and it is a link - to the group's home page. That leaves:

Contact Group Owner
Terms Of Service

I agree that not having those seems like an oversight. I encourage you to suggest them in the beta group.

Thanks, Shal.? I do see the group's email address in the header and footer, but I think it is unclear that it is separate link from the links to Change Subscription or Unsubscribe.? I was afraid to try the one at the bottom, at the risk of unsubscribing myself.? Now I can tell my members they can click on either address link.

I'll make the suggestion in Beta also.? Thanks.
