I.e., when we "suspend" distributions for offenders e.g., OOOers, we set both since this allows us to: prevent useless messages from said subscriber back to the list "why aren't I receiving" (they get a automated LISTSERV(R) nastygram to which they will typically mailto:OWNER-listname@listhost); also allows us to later interrogate subscription options and realize that we (the list-owners) had set NOMAIL/NOPOST for a previous e-mail "problem" (I sometimes call this a "message under a rock").
