In addition, I'd strongly recommend not using [square brackets] to delimit substitution parts, as a novice may easily confuse them for part of the required syntax. Let the words stand for themselves. Also, the accepted form for an example domain is example.com - it is reserved so that it will never resolve to anywhere unfortunate. Using domain.com is a mistake as that is a company's actual domain name (which, appropriately enough, hosts a whois lookup). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example.com In this context, I don't think it is helpful to separate the invitee's email address into username and domain parts - it would be clearer to leave it together as an email address, even though the @ is a syntax part (so is the "." for that matter). Possibly the note could also say something about substituting the invitee's actual information for "Member Name" and "username@example.com" - but that may be unnecessary clutter. Shal

At https://groups.io/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group?single=true [emailname]@[domain.com] <Member Name> [emailname]@[domain.com] For the second one shouldn't it be the email address in angle brackets? On the Invite page it says But on the invite page is says Emails can be of the form: Name <email@...> and that one with the email address in angle brackets does work and is consistent with other addressing practices. --henry
