Another confusing issue is that clicking "Reply" replies
TO THE GROUP (most mail clients will show the email address
of the group in the "To" field).

Unfortunately, your message has been sent to well over a
thousand people, and will be archived on various websites.
I removed it from the Google Groups website, but that's all
I can do.

A manager cannot join anyone to a group. That stops Google from
being used to send unsolicited mail (spam) to people unless they
go to some trouble to request it (anyone can create a Google
Group which makes them the owner and a manager).

If someone@example.com wants to receive mail from a group, that
email address must be used to join the group. Within 24 hours,
the email address should start receiving messages from the group
(except that vim-announce rarely sends messages, and you don't
really need to join that group if reading vim_use).

I suggest waiting for a couple of weeks before using any other
email addresses to join the group because you may find that the
volume of mail is a bit tedious. For example, how will you
decide which messages to ignore when reading from the second
address.

It is quite easy to work out my email address from this message,
so please compose a new message to that address if you want to
ask any questions.
