Frances,

So something to set the Daily Digest apart would solve the problem.
That's why my proposal groups the Email Delivery (individual, digest, special, or none) as a separate section from the Message Selection (all or followed).

Right now there is a default set for new members - All mail.

And frankly, I guess I don't understand the need for templates.
One of the things that had been requested, by moderators of particularly busy groups, was an ability to make members' initial setting be Digest rather than Individual - because new members to their groups were being overwhelmed and would immediately unsubscribe.

The template for new members would allow a group's managers to set whatever defaults make the most sense for new members joining the group, both for Email Delivery (and Message Selection) as well as for moderation of their posts.

Ronaldo,

Get real: the member who selects No Mail probably did so for a
reason, otherwise they would have selected Special Notices.
Well, yeah, but in yahoogroups, email-only members DID NOT HAVE that
choice, and still don't. "normal", "digest", "nomail" - that's it.
Huh, I keep forgetting that not all the options are available by email command. Glad I'm not the type to go removing members for selecting nomail.

Linda,

I already had an owner email address subscribed to All Mail. The problem
arose when I subscribed another email address to receive the Digest. I
ticked the Digest Box and I was forced to select one of the options
above -so I ticked No Email. When no Digest arrived, I thought there
was a bug, but it was my own fault.
I agree, that's what I find confusing about the current layout. It confuses two separate issues.

With all due respect, I found your suggestion so confusing, it motivated
me to express my desire for simplicity.
Hmm... That's disappointing.

Hopefully it would be clearer if seen as live controls rather than just text in a message. The idea is that the choice between individual emails and digest isn't mixed together with the choices of what messages to receive.

Would it help if you were able to control the default Subscription
options your members get when they join? cf my other suggestion
"Membership Templates":
https://groups.io/org/groupsio/beta/thread/membership_templates/24549
If what you meant was that I could select these mail options for my
members' default, I'm all for it (KISS):
It means that you could choose delivery as Individual Messages and All Messages delivered, as the defaults for your members. It does not mean that you could hide controls from your members.

Hi

 

Yes, I read Shal’s email before I wrote mine. Templates might be fine in some circumstances.

But really the only confusing part of the delivery options is that a subscriber must make two choices if she wants Daily Digest.

It *does* make sense. I might want just the first email in a thread and want this to come as a daily digest.

 

However, because of the mixture of radio buttons and the check box and the layout, it isn’t clear. 

I remember that when I first looked at it I thought, oh, all mail - but I want daily digest. 

So something to set the Daily Digest apart would solve the problem.

 

Right now there is a default set for new members - All mail.

 

And frankly, I guess I don’t understand the need for templates. 

 

What would be useful is a screen that shows Groups.io members what the delivery settings are for all of their groups.

As an “owner”, I can go to Members and see what the delivery settings are all the members of my group.

 

For myself, if I want to see that, I must go to each group, click on Subscription and see the delivery settings.

But if I belonged to a lot of groups, wouldn’t it be nice to go to one page (In Profile, perhaps) and see the delivery settings for all my groups?

 

Some of us are thinking like subscribers and some like list-owners / moderators. Perhaps that’s why I don’t get the templates.

However, we want the same thing - simplicity. 

 

But we can do that by page layout, I think.

That's the issue with YG - they have a bounce list, but
unless a mod or owner checks it regularly - or someone
complains about no longer receiving mail, the email is
effectively set to nomail.

What MailMan does is send out a message the 1st of every
month - just basically a reminder to the person that they
are subbed to the group (a special notice, in effect).
Bounce notices are sent to the owner address and I think
the person is set to nomail.

LSoft sends out an annual probe - but it will remove any
email that bounces more than <X> times (Since I no longer
run any LSoft lists, I can't remember if the value of X
is set by the list owner or the system admin).

What I'd like to see is something between MailMan and
Yahoo - don't wait for the special message - but don't
just stick the email in a bounce list. Send a notice
to the owner that mail to <email> is bouncing.
Yes, it would be nice if moderators got notified if a message doesn't reach its destination. maybe once a week or so.

Sending out a test message once a month seems a bit overenthusiastic, and should not be done when a regular message has been sent within the last two months or so

Ronaldo,

As to Shal's suggestion, yes, it would be useful if the creator/owner of
a group could block the "nomail" option.
That was Duane's suggestion, not mine. I actually disagree.
I stand corrected


"No Mail" is a feature that perennially generates heated commentary on the various Yahoo Groups moderator forums. Some moderators are adamant about preventing members from choosing the option, some members are equally vehement in asserting that messing with the member's delivery choice is a violation of the member's prerogatives.

Personally I think both sides in this argument are a bit foolish.
I see what you mean

Get real: the member who selects No Mail probably did so for a reason, otherwise they would have selected Special Notices.

Well, yeah, but in yahoogroups, email-only members DID NOT HAVE that choice, and still don't. "normal", "digest", "nomail" - that's it.

Hi,
What do you think about these mail options?
Please pay particular attention to the last one:

All Email
Every message is emailed to you.

First Message Only
The first message of every thread is emailed to you, along with all messages from threads you start. You can decide to receive additional messages from threads you're interested in.

Replies Only
Only messages in threads you start are emailed to you. On the website you can specify threads that will be emailed to you.

Daily digest:
Group messages together as one email instead of individually.

No Email
You will receive no emails except Special Notices.
That's what Mark says he's tempted to do. I could live with those settings, but still think it's VERY wrong to *call* it "nomail" when you still do get some messages.

My preference is still that the owner of a group can disable actual "nomail", especially if the type of group requires people to be reachable off-list. That may not be necessary in announcement-groups, but very practical in busy groups whose digests would become undigestable if people discuss all kinds of details on-list.

Periodical newsletters can be subscribed separately.

groetjes, Ronaldo

Can you detail for us what you did wrong? A little background on the confusion might go a long way to helping Mark make the options clearer.

It would also help me understand if the separation of Email Delivery from Message Selection that dg and I proposed is (sufficiently) clearer.

 I can only imagine the nightmare that's in store if we can't have the
 option to go with a simplified plan.  Good old KISS is best for older
 folks. 

Would it help if you were able to control the default Subscription options your members get when they join? cf my other suggestion "Membership Templates":

Right!
I believe it's still a glitch since it happens often.

Thanks Dano, but that doesn’t help the messages that come into an inbox, it just looks like it’s a duplicate message.
