Description
A member in a group replied to an announcement; the reply went to the Commons email address. This seems like a similar issue to what we saw in ticket #6674

Ray, is this a regression? I can't remember whether RBE natively handles our group announcements (which are standard BP activity items).
This sounds like a regression.
We disabled RBE for group announcements, but this looks to have broken since using the new BuddyPress email system.
This is probably due to the way I had to reconfigure RBE so it would work with BP emails. Probably an action/filter firing order issue.
Will look into it.
Hi All --
Have we instituted the feature where "announcements" are deprecated but group admins have the ability to force their messages out to everyone, regardless of email setting? If so, I think RBE should be enabled on announcements, since they'll just be like forum posts but ones that have also been forced out via email. I would say that replies to announcements should not override user email preferences. Thoughts?

Not yet. https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3175

This seems right to me.

As for the reply to the group announcement itself, I forget what we did in the previous iteration of emails. Where did replies to non-RBE content go to? commons@gc.cuny.edu or cunycommons@gmail.com or some other email address?
I thought they went to the RBE email address, which then responded that the particular item doesn't support replying by email.

There was a reason why we disabled RBE for group announcements. See #2686.
People cannot reply to group announcements on the frontend, so we chose to disable RBE for group announcements as well. Also, only those subscribed via the group's "All Mail" option could reply to group announcements.
We can revert this behavior, but I think #3175 might be more appropriate to turn RBE back on for group announcements.

I agree with this. Does that mean there's nothing left to do on this ticket?
- Target version changed from 1.10.2 to 1.10.3
- Status changed from Assigned to Duplicate

That's correct. Let's close this in favor for #3175.
