Advanced sending settings
On the group settings page, there are advanced settings to control how Topicbox behaves when sending email messages to the group. Use the "Show advanced preferences" link to view these settings.
Subject prefix:
- This is added at the start of the email subject, wrapped in square brackets "[My Subject]" for all messages sent to this group.
- This helps users visually distinguish mail from this group from their general email. Useful for people who like filtering their mail.
- This is not shown in the online interface: it is only visible when using a mail client.
- This is optional: you do not have to have a subject prefix for your group.
