We've created an e-mail group as another way to communicate with our members. You send a message to a single address and everybody who's part of the mail group will receive your message.
Thanks to Dave Grosvenor (EAA 645's chapter president) for setting up the group.

Guidelines
These are some guidelines to using the mailgroup.
- Content: Please only use the group for EAA or aviation related messages. Spam will NOT be tolerated. We ban spammers from our group.
- Attachments: Attachments have been disabled. If you want to share a file with the group then use the file and photo areas of the group website. You could also provide a link to a website or file upload service that you have access to.
- Subject line: Use a subject line that makes sense and accurately describes the message's content. Subjects like 'Help me', or 'Problem', or no subject don't help. Try using something like 'Problem with aerodynamic calculations' are better. Try thinking of the poor soul who receives 100 other e-mails in a morning - they'll probably skip right over your cry for 'Help'. Please don't use ALL CAPS unless necessary.
- Long threads: Some discussions last for a long time and get many replies. Remove unnecessary content to make the messages shorter (but leave enough behind so that the message makes sense without people having to refer to previous replies).
- Hijacking threads: Don't be lazy! Create new message for a new topic; don't just hit reply and write about something completely unrelated (like asking about tyre prices in a thread called Propellers). Note that threads will drift off topic (discussions go this way sometimes). In such a case either subtly put the thread back on topic or change the subject line (keep the part about long threads in mind when doing this).
- Formatting your text: Don't use ALL CAPS or big writing unnecessarily in your messages. Reserve fancy formatting for fancy things (like headings)
