Our experience differs. This is a paste from Word. I do it all the time and it works well enough for me.

Similar things have happened to me, not necessarily with groups.io. That's why I always compose long emails in a word processor rather than in an email client or web browser, but one fat fingering tha

Early on in this thread, I thought that Spamcop was not acting responsibly and considered doing some research, then complaining to my email provider. As this unfolds, I have started to change my mind.

The proposal is fine as an option, but I don't think I would start any more groups on groups.io if I had no choice but to follow that model. I prefer a model where I as owner pay for the service and f

Just thought folks might like to know a little more about how this business works. I don't know about Groups.io, but I have experience with the economics of providing online services. The costs are us

I think 2020 will mark the beginning of the great free online services shakeout. The services aren't free and the current methods of paying for them are all pretty flaky: selling ads that most people

It now works as I would expect it to. Excellent. Appreciate it. However, I think you could improve the interaction with the row of letters across the bottom. That was a nice feature when the group cou

The number sorted on is labeled "Topics". In gio-speak, I think topics usually refers to threads rather than individual messages. But I could be wrong. I didn't verify. Best, Marv

Exactly! I'll add that this search page was fine when gio had only a few hundred groups, but a lot of the frustration here stems from the length of the lists now that gio has grown to tens of thousand

Here's a little background on how searches like this work. Many of the people here are programmers and will find this boring, but if you are not among the cognoscenti, you may find this explanation he

I give Mark credit for providing functionality here without a lot of work on his part. I'm sure it's all priorities. That being said, J_Catlady has a point. Ease in finding groups to join is important

An "Are you sure?" gate protects against fat brains as well as fat fingers, which is a bigger problem for me than fat fingers. Best, Marv

It appears to me that there is either a bug, or at least difficult to predict behavior, lurking here somewhere. However, I have to say that I gave up on online drafts in all applications, not just gio

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 t

I would be glad to see drafts automatically purged. My drafts older than a day or so are just clutter to remember to delete. For what it's worth, I keep snips of text that I want to reuse in group mes
