Re: about the group-search
Mark,
Ah, I was wondering how that differed from the group's posting address. Very important that messages to that address be moderated (at least optionally) - which I think you said has or will be

Re: about the group-search
There is not. But you can create an email integration, which is a unique email address, that can be used to send messages to the group.
Yep.

walkraft,
That's what the Invite mechanism does: sends the person an email. Their reply to that message adds them to the group's mailing list. Providing the person with the group's +subscribe address

about the group-search
Of course mods should have the option to use keywords (and maybe punished if they use them falsely). Since there's just a hundred groups under groups.io now , it's not very urgent to install
