Basically a novice so any help very appreciated.

?

Have 2 questions and wondering if there’s something I haven’t done as the group administrator.?

?

1) When I post or reply to a posting, my message doesn’t show even though I’ve clicked on the preference to receive my copies. I only know for sure it went through if someone else replies.? Not sure if this is to all group users or just me but is there something in Settings for this?

?

2) When some members reply to a message, the thread does not appear.? Other times yes, but generally no.? Why is the message, or thread, being replied to not show??

?

Thank you!

Do your posts show online in the Messages archive?

You should also check your subscription and group activity and email delivery history.

Check this - perhaps you are getting the emails to your group owner email address, or a private reply.

As Frances said, if it appears in the online message archive, then it got sent. You can also see if it was sent back to you at /g/GROUPNAME/subdeliveries (where GROUPNAME is the name of the group).

That doesn't necessarily mean it will be delivered, though.

If I send a post by email, and it's thus already in my Outbox, GMail often filters out what comes back as a dupe. The most reliable way I've found to circumvent this behavior is to subscribe to a digest instead of individual emails.?

By default, does not quote previous content. If you want a quote to appear, you have to do it yourself. This is easy enough to do, either using the online editor or your own mail client. I am appending some text on this from the Member's Manual.

I find this to be desirable behavior. To see all the messages in context, one can always read them online.

Hope this helps,

Quoting messages you are replying to

Note:?This topic covers quoting messages that you are replying to on a group’s website. If you are replying to messages via email, the method for automatically including quoted messages in replies as well as where quoted text is placed (for example, at the top or bottom of the message) depend on the specific email application you are using.

When you are replying to a message on a group’s website, you can automatically include (quote) all or part of that message in your reply.

To quote the entire message you are replying to:

  1. Under the message you want to reply to, click or tap the?Reply?link.
  2. On the text formatting toolbar above the text editing box, click or tap the?Quote post?icon??at the far left (in a desktop browser, it is to the right of the More options icon). The message text is inserted automatically at the top of your reply’s text editing box, along with the message’s posting date and time and the author’s name.

To quote only part of the message you are replying to:

  1. While viewing the message you want to reply to, select the specific text that you want to quote. (You do not need to use a copy function.)
  2. Click or tap the?Reply?link under the message. The text you selected is inserted automatically at the top of your reply’s text editor box, along with the message’s posting date and time and the author’s name.

In my group, only a sentence or two is permitted to be quoted from the original message, and even then only if absolutely necessary for clarity. We all got the original message, so no one needs to read it again.? We surely do not need the whole footer!
