You may just give LSoft a run for its money. At one time private folks could have an LSoft server, but now it's only a few universities, AFAIK, and a lot of even public places are using MailMan or

Great!!! Love it! dg

Whoops! Sorry. I had forgotten. I see it now in Settings, Privacy. (I had set mine up properly!) So “Public Groups” is okay, I guess. Should there be an extra bit of explanatory text? Unnecessary?

There are no limits on the number of hashtags. You can set your group up such that if a hashtag isn't included in the subject, an error is returned, giving the option to edit the subject line to

Hi If there is no special status for “private groups”, perhaps showing up in the directory of groups should be a tick box for the list-owner. I would be happy for my private group, restricted

Hi Mark, Do you need to change the label on the list of groups? Some are restricted and private archives, but show up here in “Public Groups”. I like that they show up in this list, though. Are

wouldn't most "private" groups not even want to be "findable"? They would want to simply operate on the system anonymously for the benefit of their members. They would not need or want to be

Hi Mark, You're welcome for any help I could offer even though I only joined recently. It is brilliant no doubt about that and one of the best email groups service in terms of accessibility and

Hey Everyone, It was a year ago this week that I started working on Groups.io. On this occasion, I wanted to say thanks for all the help that everyone here has given; Groups.io is infinitely better
