Google Group - Message Delivery Options
Google Groups operate similarly to a listserv, where members receive emails of postings to the group. Google Groups also provides a web based forum, which allows conversation threads to be grouped and posting can be viewed in list form. Most groups default to members receiving each posting as a separate email, but group members have the ability to manage their message delivery options. This documents provides instructions for managing delivery options and accessing the forum view.

on your Smith Mail screen.
