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. Edinburgh is a busy group, so you’ll get a lot of emails each day.
  • Daily Digest batches the mails 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 mails look like?

Yahoo only

Fully Featured gives you more links and options, whereas Traditional is plain text and looks less 'busy'.
