Suggestion implemented - we added in the full editing toolbar to group messages, allowing admins to use hyperlinks and other formatting as they see fit.

I sent a message to the group Coming Together today, see below.  My problem was connecting the short description of each resource to the web address with a link.  I didn't see the usual "chain" link in the content header.  Would it be possible to have that as part of messaging to group members?

 

... there's the example:

 

… here’s a small update from the “resources” that have been posted on the Coming Together educational commons group recently.

"We should abolish No Child Left Behind - It sets impossible goals & gave our schools very little money.  I believe the goal was to discredit public education itself, setting the stage for privatization & vouchers [emphasis mine] Instead, the Feds should fully fund Head Start, pay its promised share of the cost of education of children with disabilities, and reduce schools' health insurance cost through national health reform."

A growing number of global universities are hiring business-savvy presidents to raise more funds for the development of their schools. It’s not a different story for the No.1 U.K. university.

"The government has to provide any possible assistance to the private institutions if the goals of the education sector are to be achieved," he said. He went on to say that higher education is an important component of the Rwandan education system. This, he explained, enables the country to realize its ambitions for sustainable development and economic growth.

SANTIAGO, Chile: Chilean lawmakers ousted the country's education minister on Wednesday for failing to prevent a scandal involving subsidies to private schools that overstated enrollment.

The Senate's vote also bars Education Minister and teacher Yasna Provoste from public office for five years.

Simple and useful enough to merit a vote, and perhaps a direct implementation.
