Logo eines Mailing list: How to send mail to the Group's e-mail list
What is it?

As its name suggests, it is a list of e-mail addresses grouped under a single address so that you only have to write to this one address, and everyone in the list will receive the message.

 
What's it for?

For contacting all the members of a group through a single address. If you are a member of a group, you can send an e-mail to all the other members. If you are not a member, your access is restricted and you cannot send e-mail via the lists.

Each group has two mailing lists assigned to it: the Group list and the News list. As a member of the group, you will receive mails and can consult the archives of both lists, but you can only send from the Group list. Only moderators and administrators can send e-mails from the News list.

 
How do I use it?

You can send e-mails to the list directly from the platform, or using your own e-mail utility.

a) To send messages from the platform.

1- Go to Groups and select the group you are interested in.

2- Go to the menu on the left and, under The group, click on E-mail list.

3- Select Send a message (if there is more than one list, each list will have a button, select the one that you are interested in).

4- A new window will open for you to write your message. It is not necessary to write the e-mail address of the group you are writing to.

5- Write the Message title: A short text describing the content of the message.

6- Write the text of your message in the Message body box. The message can be written in plain text or HTML format. You can include attachments, links, use different fonts and letter sizes, etc.

7- Once you have written your message, click on Next to preview it. To send it click on Send message.

 

b) To send messages from your own e-mail utility.

1- Write the mailing list's e-mail address directly in the To... box in a new e-mail.

You can find the list's address in the page Groups > the group you want to contact > E-mail list.
