Yahoo's further demise also heightens groups.io's attractiveness and value by cementing its place as unique. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

Pete, Agreed, with one caveat: The definitive statement in the original post notwithstanding, I don't think "the new pricing framework" is yet cast in stone - Mark's continued involvement with this

Superficially attractive, certainly. but it includes a major flaw. I have 2 email addresses immediately available, and I could set up 4 or 5 more without it costing me anything. That would

Just one last point. My comment is really a response to some posts on this thread that seem to imply that Mark is entitled to cover his costs, or maybe make a little money for his efforts. That's fine

Shal, I was being glib, of course, and I'm not inferring any particular purpose or set of values on Mark's part based on this thread. What I should have said is simply that it's been obvious for quite

Peter, I think in reading the Groups.io announcement it can fairly be inferred that in Mark's view making money is necessary in support of developing and supplying the service, not the other way

I might have made the original suggestion to charge subscribers a fee. Since that was a while back, and my scheme for doing so was split among two message posts, and since we are repeating earlier

The group changes the HTML formatted email it recieves instead of accepting what was sent. Here is an example of a message I composed in Thunderbird and how it appears in Thunderbird and how it

Based on one of my recent members, I'd say closer to $25M. ;>) That does sound like an idea worth looking into (with a 6-12 month grace period.) I don't think I know anyone that doesn't 'waste' more

Hank -- That's interesting. I didn't know you even could insert an image in your subscription's sig line. I will report this to the other guy who's having the problem and see if it fixes his issue,

I tightened up that column as part of some changes to improve the mobile site (and upcoming app). It should be fixed now. Mark

Amazon Prime is $130 per year but I don’t think that’s at all comparable. Sure if you go by the number of current IDs it’s huge. But some unknown and probably very large fraction would quit

Got it figured out. The other day I got 'cute' and inserted an image in the SIGNATURE area. It was an image of our Roadtrek RV with my Name, State and YR/make of the RV below the image. It did not

Mark, Andy wrote: I'm seeing this also in the Delivery column, even when the width of the display window is more than adequate. It looks like the Delivery column has a fixed width that is

It would be, but a simple solution would be to give every new account holder a 12 month grace period before any charge applies. In addition, I think the amount charge could be very modest; with the

That has already been suggested in this thread (what? you haven't read al 250 messages?;) and it still means asking people to pay to take part in a bunch of unknown mailing lists. I really doubt it

In the "Send Message" feature from within viewing a pending message, a red warning "You must include a message" shows up even when a message has been entered. I think I reported this before but don't

Hi Mark, After a brief discussion on GMF I'm raising this as a bug. The format of the member list has changed so that it now takes two lines per member for those in my group due to the number of

Oh, good point. -- 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 human together. - Desmond Tutu

Hank -- A second person has now reported this same problem in GMF. We need to look into what combination of group settings might do this, particularly those in your Message Policies block. Hank's
