As long as it is clearly documented, I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with a moderator able to send under the owner's imprimatur. When I was in business, I frequently designated an assistant

Andy -- Even before yesterday's change, Moderators (and Owners) have been able to send +owner messages using New Topic (see the original request). The change recently implemented only extends that

Hi, I tried to search to see if this has been raised before, but I couldn't see it. Any chance we could have an option of weekly or monthly summaries? Rather just daily. Cheers Mo

This approach is incorrect as far as I'm concerned. There are three distinct membership levels, Member, Moderator and Owner, and unless someone is defined as an Owner I don't believe they be able to

Excellent; many thanks for that. Chris

Hi All, The reply form now has a selector to select replying from the +owner address, if you're a moderator. Cheers, Mark

Things have actually gotten worse since the member started using "reply all" instead of "reply." So I am now strongly urgng Bruce's proposed fix. What's happening now is that the member thoughtfully

Yes, that makes perfect sense to me. Allow moderators to edit arbitrarily, but shove the "diffs" into an "Activity" record so it edits can not be done secretly. Also add a "May edit pending

Then lets propose it as a feature. Do you want to do it? You can state it more accurately and concisely than I can. Probably should stay in this thread? Or start another topic with a more accurate

Bruce, Thanks, this is awesomely informative. Yes, that seems to be what's happening. It's actually amazing that it hasn't been happening more often. So far, I've noticed it only with this one group

Yes, I've been recently noticing that on my iPhone, a second reply by me to the same recipient instead is sent back to me. I finally figured out that you can subvert this behavior by specifying "reply

With the exception of the "reply only to sender" topic setting*, there is no way for groups.io to actually force a particular reply behavior on each and every group member. The reply-to setting for a

In other words, her email is filling in the individual's address instead of the group address. She's not changing anything. So at first glance it looks like an aol problem, but it's not doing that

True but she’s not doing that. She’s simply hitting “reply.” -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be

Nothing to do with settings. If I compose a message in my email, typing the group's or an individual's address in the "to"box decides where it is going AFAIK, reply-all goes to all the addresses the

But wait a sec: should group members be able to loophole out of a group's "disable other reply options" using settings in their email? Also, I'm not sure (aka: I have not the vaguest idea) how these
