Right, the super-list creates a merged group of subscribers from the 2
sub-lists.

I thought of this as a work around too. I can set the Send= option to
include the
2 sub-lists so any subscriber can send to the combined list. And e-mail
sent to
the Super-list would be set to the 2 sub lists directly.
The downside is that for subscribers on both lists they would get a
digest from each list.
I guess I don't understand why LISTSERV would default to not honoring
the sub-list
subscriber options. In my opinion it makes the Super/Sub list setup
less useful.
