John,
Just to clarify, I was referring specifically to Yahoo Clubs not Yahoo
Groups (the old eGroups).
When you receive a post via email from a Yahoo Club there is usually a
footer saying something like "Please do not reply to this message by email
.." (I guess lots of people try to!). To reply you must actually go to the
Club web site, login, and do post from there - that's the bit I don't like.
IMO it is far quicker and simpler to do it all via your email program plus
you have the copy of all your own posts.
