What info do you not want people to see?
There isn't an option to disable the message inside of quickmail though.
QM works in 2.8. The latest version does seem to have a restore and backup bug I'm working out currently. But other than that it seems to be ok. I know some other large universities that have been using it. LSU is still on 2.7. I will be uploading a new version of QM when we upgrade which I'm not sure when that will be.
Does QM works for moodle 2.9.1+ ? I am currently facing a problem which my QM doesn't seen to work on my moodle 2.9.1+ as the email I composed doesn't reach to the target recipient. Installation are fine and I wonder if there's any thing I need to be aware of in configuration of QM. Please help me and I'am looking forward for the reply. Thanks.
Go to Quickmail->View History
Open an email.
Wait for the time that the atto editor is set to autosave (default 1 min) 'Draft saved' will flash.
Go to Quickmail->View History
Open a different email.
The content displayed is that of the first email opened. It is the same for every email.
Turn JS off and the correct content is displayed.
A record is created in editor_atto_autosave that is used to overwrite the content of every email text editor box.
QM does work for 2.9.1 , if there are no errors thrown it could be a problem with how email is set up on your moodle server. I can't think of any config setting related to QM that would affect that though. If you do discover something let me know!
Thanks
Thanks for bringing that to my attention! That's a pretty weird bug. I'll take a look at it soon, and maybe ask a Moodle core developer about Atto doing that.
two questions
1. Any plans for an official 2.9 release?
2. Any reports of issues when relaying to large groups. I've had user reports that emails to large classes fails (over 60+). Not sure if this is a relay issue on th exchange box or something thats a know issue in quickmail?
Thanks

I have Moodle 2.7 installed and the latest version of Quickmail (2014042914 v1.5.0)
I have a course set with separate groups. If I am using Chrome on my Windows PC I can send messages to everyone in that group. If I use my ipad when I try to send the email a message appears: There are no users you are capable of emailing.
Any hint?
It shows a list of the teachers in Potential Recipients (who aren't in any groups) who I can add, but none of the students are showing in this list of Potential Recipients.
Hope this is updated to work with 2.9 soon!!
