Member doesn't want to receive emails
From what I see, there is no way to take a member off of the
mailing list for the club without taking them offline. I
have a member who doesn't like receiving email from the club
because he is not very computer litterate and doesn't know
how to delete messages (I am serious, he is upset about the
amount of email he receives). If there is no way to do this
currently, I would suggest adding this feature in the
future.

In the meantime, should I just change his email address
under his member profile to a mailbox of my own? Will this
still keep his login information the same and will he still
be able to log in to the site?

Thanks,
Micah Sampson (Royal Investment Club Broker)

This is a rare complaint, but we understand. It's something we'll
probably address in the next few months.

You can change his email to something that begins with ignore-, and
the email will be ignored by our servers. He can still login with his
User ID found in the Roster.

Putting Ignore in his email just bounces undeliverable
messages to whomever sends to the list. For now, I just put
an extra email address I have in place of his email address.
