@Delta Chat
Have been using the broadcast list to send some meditations to friends, very nice feature!
Any way to change the subject line?

@randal thanks for the feedback. As of now, there is no way to change the subject line. Maybe discuss it in the feature category of the https://support.delta.chat forum. If you can provide some feedback on your own usage there, that helps to understand and discuss it further. thanks!

@Delta Chat Hi, just so happens that I registered there this morning and asked about it. :)

Thinking of how best to share PDFs for a 30-day spiritual affirmation exercise. I'd like to start tomorrow, new month and all that. Getting feedback would be good from those receiving them, too.

Email?
Not a new website, please. Maybe a sign-up something?
Some sort of persistent connection, for future use.
I don't want to just throw it out there. Making people feel there's a bit of exclusivity to it is good, they say.
Ideas?

@rogbeer That's cool, thanks, might be a partial solution as far as sharing a link. The CLI stuff nearly scared me away, but at the bottom I saw the option to upload a file. Tried it and worked!

How large is it? Many email servers have attachment size limits.

34 kb, one small page each time.

Create hubzilla account.
Post document to the section 'files', with description text about the limit of availability

@citc Good suggestion. Making the file available is not such a problem. Communication is, however—how to get people's contacts and then get the word to them for 30 days.

If sending them email every day is viable, a 34K attachment is nothing these days,

@Marshall Sutherland I really didn't wan't to set up another list/group within my personal email, if I could keep from it. I may have to, however. True that 34kb is piffling.

How many people is this going to? I may have been thinking too small.

@Marshall Sutherland That's the 64-thou question. Dunno. Won't be huge, that's for sure.

I don't have any great ideas at the moment, so I'm mostly asking questions to help clarify things. If the daily solution is outside of email, do you have to still use email to send the initial information of where to find their daily document or do you have some other means of initial communication? Looking back a few messages, maybe that is still up in the air and part of the problem.

@Marshall Sutherland I appreciate the questions. I'm wondering if there's an alternative to email for communication. You're right that I'm vague on options.
I wonder if Hubzilla might work for this, not only for posting the daily document, but for notifications as well...

Well, I decided to use #DeltaChat and create a group in that. It doesn't check all the boxes (it's not an email mailing list), but I think it will make it simpler to manage.

Thanks for ideas and suggestions above.

@Zephan Oh, I didn't see that. For 30 days I'm sending pdfs of positive spiritual affirmations. That would fit the bill.
