the question "Is there a way for the listowner to send a message to ALL
subscribers, even those set NOMAIL?"):

That's a neat solution, except for the fact that this is not what section
2.13.8 says. Quoting from there:
You will get the [message sent to the superlist] if you have an
active (not NOMAIL) subscription to at least one sub-list. The
idea is that the super-message must be equivalent to posting to
all the sub-lists, without the duplicates. Since all it takes
to get a message posted to all the sub-lists is a single
non-NOMAIL subscription, this is how the super-list works.
My solution to this problem is to use REVIEW FOO-L to prepare a list of
recipients and than let LISTSERV do a DISTRIBUTE job of my message to
this list.
