LSTOWN-L would have been the best choice for discussion and
I have cc: them.
It takes 3 things to acomplish your task via Revised LISTSERV
techology:
1) list-owner has setup the list's TOPICS feature in the
definition (see example below)
2) you, the subscriber, have done a LISTSERV
SET listname TOPICS: -FWD
which only is effective for mail distributions, and not
for DIGEST/INDEX mailings
3) the sender uses a valid Subject: in their posting
SUBJECT: FWD: xxxxxxx
Here is an example syntax using HEPROC-L topics=
* Topics= HEJ,Con1,Con2,Con3,Con4,Con5,Con6,Con7,Con8,Con9
Notice that there is nothing magical about FWD and is not a valid
explicit topic for this list (thus it would be treated as the
reserved OTHER: topic).
You might find other useful discussion on the TOPICS= keyword
