How do I change when emails are sent?

NOTE: <foldingnav /> <foldingnav>The options are: "Receive all postings via email", to "receive an Email Digest of 25 posts", or "Stop receiving post emails (Please note, if you choose to receive no emails, you will still receive special notices from the moderator)".</foldingnav>
3. Select the group from the list, and click on the change settings button.
4. After choosing your option, click: "Change Email Preference".

• IMPORTANT: You MUST wait for the page to refresh to confirm your changes or all will be lost and you might become a wee bit frustrated

Yahoo

To change your message delivery:

Login to groups.yahoo.com/group/YourFreecycleGroupName and click on the "Edit Membership" link.

Click on the "save changes" radio button before leaving the page.

You should choose the Message Delivery option which is right for you, though you can change it later.

• Individual Emails means you see each item as it’s sent to the group.
• Daily Digest batches the emails up, which is more manageable, though some items go quickly and so will have gone by the time you see them.
• Special Notices is for reading the group via the Web, instead of email.

Please don't use Web Only. Some groups may change members using this option to Special Notices to ensure their email address is valid.

How do I change what the emails look like?
