notification when there is a new post to the group

Ian,

Any news on this? It would definitely be useful for every member to be
notified when someone posts to the group.

Hi Jarred,

We do not have that configuration set up. 

I was wondering whether you think it might be valuable for _all_ group
participants to be notified when there is a new post. (That may be
easier to do, but I need to investigate whether it's possible at all.)
