I'm looking for the best way to contact a Group by email and update that Group quickly and easily for all members of the Group.
I'm part of a patient's charity group that shares information on surgery and treatment of parotid cancer by email - currently 12 members, but growing every day since starting last week.
The organiser emailed a list of email addresses to all members, and advised putting them in an Email Group and updating that Group each time new members are added.
Members each send emails to the group with their story or questions, and all replies come to the group as separate emails. It gets a bit mailbox heavy, and it seems a bit long-winded to me. I've used subscription based Email Groups that have 100s of members for advice on using software previously. It worked quite well and one email went out per day. I type my address into the subscription form and check 'Subscribe'. After that I get a daily email with all emails in that. One down side is that the messages are not threaded.
I know nothing about coding. Is there a better, easier, worthwhile way?
Have a look at google groups.
Yahoo Groups, with a specific Gmail address for your subscription - Gmail's web interface does a spectacular job of keeping threads in related groups.
For either of those options, does it matter that members are using email accounts from lots of different places? gmail, yahoo, hotmail, waitrose etc.
