[meta] New members don't get emails

[Mark Drew]

Hey all

Looking through the members of the group an interesting stat come up, that 48% of members to the Lucee group have the setting of "no emails" as their delivery preference. I thought this was odd and it seems that that is the default setting for google groups. Odd no?

See: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/27762/in-googlegroups-how-do-you-set-the-default-email-delivery-option

I think the question from the managers of this group is should we manually change this for exiting users and let them know (seems a bit against the logic and could possibly annoy people) and the currently subscribed people might be thinking that it's a hell-a quiet round these parts. 

What are your thoughts?

a) Set them to email and do a posting that we point them to?

b) somehow email all of them directly? (there might be setting in the group to do this.) 

c) Send them a big email (on signup if possible) saying "Dude, there is No Email!.. sign up here!"

Thoughts?

the link that you posted to SE says that this is by design and there is no way to set it to "receive all emails" by default.

as for your options -- definitely not (a).  not sure what's the diff between (b) and (c)?  is it that (b) is a one-time thing as a group and (c) is a one-time thing immediately after sign-up?  whichever can be automated is ok IMO, as long as it's a one-time thing.

b) Do a post to all those emails somehow (I don’t think there is actually that ability)
c) They get an email at sign up (again, the same thing)

So I guess Google have made the mailing list a forum that you have to opt in. And that is by design. Seems a shame since it wasn’t obvious to me at sign up at any rate.

They're grown-ups. Treat them as such. People can sort of their own subscription settings.

Hey, I set it up to email me once daily with updates, but I cannot seem to find any settings about when that summary is sent.  I was getting the summary around 5pm for the Railo group, but for the Lucee group its coming in at 3am.  Anyone know how I might be able to change that?

I get enough email.  I'm happy to come to the google groups website to read/respond.

Cool. Non issue then. 

As you were.
