Shal Farley
 

Mark,

... I suggest changing your group to Force HTML Emails, if you like
the HTML footers, or PlainTextOnly if you want the plain text footers.
Maybe "Force HTML Emails" should be a subscription option rather than a group option. Or in addition to.

That way members who seem incapable (for whatever reason) of "going private" by simply copying the original From address into the To address of their reply can be told to check that box in their subscription. Without inflicting the rest of the group members with more HTML.

(I DO NOT suggest the same for Plain Text Only, as that has consequences for how messages appear on the group's Messages pages. Also some group moderators prefer it as an "anti-exploit" feature, over and above any "cleaning" of HTML message bodies that Groups.io does.)

Brian,

A good example of this is for the the format one wishes to send
messages in.
That one in particular I wish was also in the formatting toolbar above the message composition box, as an ad hoc override to the default one sets in one's account preferences.

On that page the preference in relation to this is listed as "Post
Preference," which I also think is not precisely clear as far as
e-mail participants are concerned.
It has no effect on email posting. It is only for the on-site composition pages (including Wiki as well as messages).

Default Sub Settings are applied only to new subscribers, and can subsequently be overridden in their individual Subscription.
On that basis, it's appropriate that your recent change should not affect existing subscriptions.
Ok, it is clear now. I admit i did not thoroughly look for option description as I assumed that it limits size of incoming messages not outgoing.

There is no setting to limit the size of an attachment your group will accept.
I am very surprised to hear that. I have posted message to GMF to ask people to support request that such option is added. Turning moderation just for case that someone might go south and send attachment bomb to the group is not practilcal.

Right. That’s what I had in mind in thinking ‘attachments.’ You and Bruce are correct.

moderated Max image size change

Mark Fletcher
 

Hi All,

Earlier this morning, someone sent a massive 55mb 43k x 21k image through the system (the group was not set to resize images in emails), and it caused a bit of havoc with some processes running out of memory or taking too long to complete. I've changed it so that, if a group is set to not resize images, we will resize any images to a max of 10k per side.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Mark

This is not a bug. You may be misunderstanding the settings available. Take this to Group Manager's Forum https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum and we can discuss it there.

I noticed that group had attachment limit set to unlimited, and of course one user managed to send very large attachment to the group.

I changed setting to limit to reasonable attachment size for the group but I notice that for users setting is still set to unlimited.

Is that a bug or group setting would override member setting?

Since messages can be rejected based on too large of an attachment, I think, unless I totally misunderstand, that the group setting does limit the attachment size the group will accept.

But agree that this is not a subject for beta.

Default Sub Settings are applied only to new subscribers, and can subsequently be overridden in their individual Subscription. On that basis, it's appropriate that your recent change should not affect existing subscriptions.

Also, this setting is not what you think it is. It affects only the size of attachments that will be relayed to that subscriber via email. There is no setting to limit the size of an attachment your group will accept. If you want something like that you will have to moderate messages containing attachments and reject those manually (see Admin>Settings>Message Formatting>Attachments>Moderate).

A setting that does what you expected this to do is not a bad idea. But questions like this are best posted to GMF first...after an appropriate vetting period you can subsequently send it here as a feature request.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I vote for stripping - or at least having an option. I do not want "stuff" like that cluttering my groups - or having it waste my data allowance.

Have you set Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for your mail domain?
Groups.io should follow that.

The member setting limits the size of attachments they want to receive. The group setting limits the size of attachments they can send.

I had similar issue tonight. One user sent entire photo album to the list and each reply to his message contained the same images.
I am not quite sure how that happened.

The thing is no one is actually putting anything in the CC field.
