Then put the header back. To get the same options to apply to all PRESENT subscribers send a message to LISTSERV set listname quiet digest for *.* set listname quiet repro for *.* The QUIET ensures that LISTSERV doesn't send a message to each subscriber announcing the changes and confusing most of them. You will of course announce the changes in a message to the list. It may of course be possible to include both options in one command but since I have never had occasion to do so and am not sure how it would work, I am taking the conservative approach.
