Members may send messages as large as 1 Mb at a time.

Yes, group members who use digital certificates will still get your messages.
Q: What happens if an email sent to my discussion group bounces?
If an email bounces, it is returned to us, not to you.
The member then receives an email from us asking them to reconfirm their address.
Q: Why didn't I get the message I sent to my email discussion list?
Did you remember to add yourself to your list? List Administrators are not added to the lists they create by default.
To add yourself to your list:
- Login
- Select your list
- Click Add People to List
- Then click the Add Yourself link in the box on the right
Q: How do I send an email message to my group?
Just send it as you would normally send email, but, address it to your list address.
If you don't remember your list address, go to the Start page, select your list, and then click on List Settings.
You can click on the link next to List Address or copy and paste it into your email.
Q: How does a member send an email to the discussion group?
They send it to the group's listname just as they normally send email or they reply to a previous group message.
If you don't remember your list name, go to your Start page, select your list, and then click on List Settings.
You can click on the link next to List Address or copy and paste it into your email.
Q: What happens if one of my discussion list members uses a digital signature or digital certificate?
In order to deliver a message to an email discussion group, it is necessary for us to disable digital signatures and digital certificates.
Therefore, receiving email clients will not attempt to validate the authenticity of the message. However, the message will be delivered.
Q: Why do some members of my group receive messages flagged as spam?
More and more organizations are using a wide variety of spam filtering tools, many of which are either misconfigured, untweaked, or have aggressive filtering tests.
We understand that this situation can be frustrating, and it is unfortunate that it is becoming more commonplace with the myriad of filters now on the market.
If you ask your recipient to add the domain m1e.net to their personal whitelist or safe senders' list, that usually resolves the issue.
Q: Can I cut and paste text from my word processor?
Yes, just highlight the text in Word, WordPerfect, or other programs and paste it into your email program. Then just send your email to your group.
Note: Bold, italics, underline, apostrophes, quotes and other formatting features may display differently on various email programs.
Q: Why is the unsubscribe tag required?
DiscussThis automatically places an unsubscribe link on the bottom of every outgoing message. This allows recepients who no longer wish to be in your email group to remove themselves easily. This also complies with the CAN-SPAM Act.
Q: Why is my message not correctly displayed when copy/pasting directly from Word?
Issues regarding bold, italics, font sizes, etc.: Word introduces several special characters into your text document in order to produce the various styles you see when creating a Word document. However, these styles do not translate to HTML when doing a copy/paste from Word. If you have the actual HTML code, you may use that directly in order to maintain your formatting. This is an issue with standard HTML coding and is unrelated to our product.
Issues regarding incorrect or extraneous characters: Word (and other Microsoft programs) use some Microsoft-specific characters, not industry standards, so you may see quotes and other characters being displayed incorrectly. The easy fix it to edit it in our system after you paste it in. You can delete those incorrect or extraneous characters and retype them while in our system. Another option is to create the message in Notepad (from Accessories in your Windows machine), which uses industry standard characters.
Q: How can I send an old message to new subscribers?
