As owner of a yahoo group, how do I change settings so that email addresses are not shown on every group email

By default all emails that go out to the group has the persons email address in the From field. How can I change the settings so that their email address does not show ?As owner of a yahoo group, how do I change settings so that email addresses are not shown on every group email
there's only one ay to do this but it has it faults. this is allowing members to hide their e-mail and in boxes will show every one that hides this as ';no_reply@yahoo.com';



1) you loose the polls feature

2) members wont be able to post from their e-mail; they can only post from off the group

3) members per their own settings have to specifically select to hide their e-mail- this is not a whole group change

4) you can not reverse this setting once you change it to that, warns you in bold



if you still care to do this

management- under group setting click membership- Membership Type and Welcome Message (Edit) %26lt;-- click the edit- under E-mail Address Display, check the box * Allow members to hide their email address from the group.

Your group will not be able to use the Polls feature. Members who hide their email address will not be able to post messages via email. Once you have selected this option, you may not change it later. - click save changes
