Good idea. Anyone wanting to join could add the email address
member@... to their white list (list of allowed emails). If
they don't want to risk the confirmation for the group going into the
trash.
Yes I just thought of something similar this morning if you wanted a
short subject line, then you could put "....Hello!..." or something &
still be over the 10 characters needed to post on the board.
Right I've GOT to get off & running now,
Speak later,
