Forwarding Messages from Group Pending Messages Page?

Question

My group is set up to get messages to members of a sports team. A member sent a message to the group that was really intended for just the coach. I tried to forward it to the coach from the Pending file by clicking on the message subject (this displays the full message), then by clicking on the "Edit" button. I deleted the group email address from the "To:" field, then typed in the coach's email address into the "To:" field, and hit "Send." The message went to the entire group, and not just to the coach. Does anyone know of a way to forward messages to one person in the group instead of to the entire group (short of copying&pasting into a regular email)? Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

To get an e-mail to a member of the group without having to go to the actual e-mail program look for the person you want to contact just click on the section next to the author's name (if your group is set up with the newer menu bar to the right of the post that has the information such as e-mail of the person if you are reading a message from that person already) where it says "Send E-mail".  When you click on that it will have a text box and the information showing the message is being sent by you and who it's being sent to.

The information in this case will still need to be copied and pasted in to the box and then click "Send".

You can also reach the member by looking up their information in the "Members" section and click on section that says, "Send E-mail".

A third way you can make sure messages go to members off list instead of the list is to change the set up for the group in the "Management" section so that messages will automatically go to the member and if they want to send to the group they will have to take out the member e-mail and put the group e-mail address in the "To" line instead.
