Most groups have the settings done to enable ONLY list members to view the messages - and also the other "web features". You can find out this if you visit a group NOT being logged in.
If you can view a group's messages when NOT being logged in, it means that group has the messages publically available = available for just anyone to read (and with the attachments at the website probably possible to snag from). And also see the group members's Yahoo ID and more. Personally I never join any group with such settings as I think things should be "private" within each individual group.
Some list owners hide the member list also from the members. I am one of those. :-) That is in order to protect the list members among other things from having their e-mail addresses harvested by spammers.
In the midst of writing this I logged out from YahooGroups and went to check this group. The messages are not made public, neither is the list of members. Only one thing makes me a bit puzzled, and that is the fact that under the word "Home" there is the word "Attachments". I do hope that YahooGroups have NOT made this new web attachment feature accessible for just anyone... It would be a good idea to check this out, I think.

What ever we are not pleased with, we should tell YahooGroups - just as they asked us in the Moderator Central message I forwarded here a couple of hours ago. :-)

Sonja,attachments are at the group.. it looks like the owners re-set the group settings. they still work. just click on them and save as......it just makes it so they can NOT be forwarded..cuz ONLY members of this group can get them this way.
