<span title="[e-mail]">Groupname-unsubscribe@yah...</span> doesn't work - why not?

Question

I subscribed to my own 'email discussion' YahooGroup using a different email address from my normal one - just to test how the group worked. It worked okay except for using [e-mail] which didn't work at all.

The trial person was a member of my group but not signed up to Yahoo. Does this make a difference?

I know that there are other ways to leave a group but I would really like to make this way work for our future members!

Answer 1

the unsubscribe by e-mail Yahoo Groups Blog says is fixed, obviously it isn&#039;t.

for future members, not knowing when it&#039;ll be fixed (it&#039;s been this way for months) you might want to consider an auto file and offering to remove those members who can only leave via that e-mail command

you also may want to consider reporting this, the more reports maybe it&#039;ll finally get fixed

Answer 2

For your group, find the member in the members list and you can click remove.  Sending an email is a lousy way to leave a group.   A better way to advise your members: Go to the group&#039;s site, click on edit membership along the top. In the next window scroll down and check leave group Click save changes and you should be out. It may take a day to take effect.
