I post to yahoo groups. The only problem I have is that my complete e-mail address appears in the message. What do I to only show my login name and not the complete address?

  1. Short answer: you can't!

    >>

    If you post a message — which sends each Group member an email — your entire email address is shown in the "From:" field, just as if you were sending them email directly.

  2. When you post a message directly on the group site, you and only you will see your complete email address.  Other members will only see the "truncated" address - it will only show yourname@....  just as you can only see other member's truncated address.  

    The only time everyone can see your complete address is when you Reply to a group message via email.  That is internet protocol and nothing can be done to keep it from showing.  

    Even though the info as stated in the first answer is from Yahoo, you can check what I have said by signing into the group and seeing it for yourself.  You will see yours but not other's.  If you are the group moderator you will see all member's addresses regardless.
