@Jeremy or @Eric,

It would be nice, if "reply to author" would be enabled.
Thx,

Mario,

I enabled "Reply to author" for "all group members" several weeks ago.  The command is located in the "three dots" dropdown menu (upper right corner of each message header).  If you are not seeing this menu item (or it is still disabled), then that is most likely a bug in the new GoogleGroups.

Addendum:

The "reply to author" feature requires that you allow your browser to handle "mailto:" links.

Here's the instructions for Chrome:

Here's the instructions for FireFox:

Hi Eric,

There seems to be a permissions issue:

Apologies, I have tried to insert a screenshot with no success. The reply to author button is disabled and the tooltip states: "You do not have permission to reply to author in this group".

Same here, and yes I double checked my General Settings for the "mailto:" setting as the instructions mentioned above. Btw, I can't post when a screenshot was inserted as well (nothing happens; no hint/error).

Mail to works for me and always has, but I no longer have reply to author.

Bloody "New", should I say regressive, Google Groups. Seriously this is the worst experience I have had with Google since they took away "Google Wave".
