To make it possible, it would be helpful to have a special emailand later: e.g. xyzgroup+call@groups.io (with a subject of )14587Call seems a bit obscure. How about +retrieve ? Or even +GetMessage ? Either way, it sounds like the email-command equivalent of the web Send-to-me feature I proposed once long ago. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/2195268 In your use case it seems like you'd want the ability to call a message that was posted before you joined the group; that seems a fairly likely case when a "mentor" is directing you to a prior message. That would break a protection I suggested back then. So it re-opens the question of whether there needs to be any protection against having a new(ish) group member collect all of the group's history by calling for the messages sequentially. For my groups I'd rather have the feature than not, so I hope there's an answer that Mark will be comfortable with implementing. Shal
