That is very unpractical. If I'm using webmail, especially when I'm on someone else's computer, I want to send messages from my webmail. Would that be possible/programmable? and wouldn't it be more honest to call it "contact the moderator(s)" groetjes, Ronaldo -- http://www.esperanto.net http://www.moneyasdebt.net

Ronaldo, We could configure it to point back to groups.io, and have it use our webmail client to send a message to the owners. But you'd still have to log into groups.io to do that. Would that be better than what's there now? Thanks, Mark

I am a moderator only, not owner. I think that being able to contact the owner only is useful. That being said, being able to contact a moderator might be useful too. In YahooGroups a member can send in a regular post that automatically is seen by the moderators. That would probably happen here too - it would go into Messages, wouldn't it? Frances

Frances: In YahooGroups, messages sent to the owner address are emailed to the owner and moderators. They are not posts and do not appear anywhere on the web site. I believe that is as it should be. I think it's a good idea to have a separate email address for owners-only and one for owners and mods. Ronaldo: People who use web mail can copy and paste the owner address into the TO: line. Linda

Is that even copyable? I think it would be better if you could read/copy "beta+owner@groups.io" I don't fully understand the comment about "your browser", especially if it's not *my* browser but someone else's (library, internetcafe, whatever) groetjes, Ronaldo -- http://www.esperanto.net http://www.moneyasdebt.net

Hello Ronaldo, If you highlight Contact Group Owner, right click (on a pc) will give you the option to copy the target - copy, then paste the result into whichever browser you're using (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or similar - at home or in the library. Linda

Ronaldo,
Doesn't look like that to me. I don't see "beta+owner@groups.io". IYes, in most browsers the context menu (right mouse click) will let you copy that as an email address. I don't fully understand the comment about "your browser", especiallyRead that as "the browser you are using". The application or web site to launch when you click on a "mailto:" link is generally configurable. A web search for "how do I make Gmail my default browser in Firefox" (or whichever email service and browser you're using) will likely turn up instructions. That said, I don't know if settings like that might be locked down on a shared computer. -- Shal

I was testing some things this morning and ran into an unusual situation. I sent an email to the group owner email address from an unsubscribed email address. I have that group set so that no emails are forwarded to my (owner) email. There's a notice in the log that the email was sent, but I can't find any place to see what it is. Have I overlooked something? Thanks, Duane PS While attempting to post this reply (a little before 9 am cst), I got several "504 Gateway Time-out" errors, then it finally gave me the "undergoing maintenance" screen with Linus. Cute kitten!

This morning between 6am-7am pacific time, there was an issue with the web server. It's the same bug I've been trying to track down since Friday, some sort of database resource exhaustion thing. Sorry about that, and thanks for the kitten compliment. :) Mark
