I'm confused about which options super-lists honor and which they do not. The descriptions of super-lists in the release notes and the manual for version 1.8c discuss the topic only a small bit. From the manual: If you are subscribed to the super-list itself, the subscription options used to deliver super-messages to you are taken from your subscription to the super-list, just like with any other list. All combinations are allowed[....] When you are subscribed to multiple sub-lists, on the other hand, things work differently: [....] It goes on to speak about the NOMAIL/MAIL option, DIGEST and INDEX, and TOPICS. What about NOREPRO/REPRO? I'm finding the setting on a sub-list subscription isn't followed when posting to the super-list. Does one need to subscribe to the super-list explicitly to have other than Listserv's default, NOREPRO? Are there other options that don't get honored by the super-list, like ACK/NOACK? Some specifics: Super-list SLIST, sub-lists LSTA and LSTB. Subscriber has REPRO on LSTA and LSTB. Same subscriber is not subscribed explicitly to SLIST, and SLIST has no Default-options= keyword. When the subscriber mails to SLIST, the message is delivered fine to all, *except* not to themself -- NOREPRO behavior. I would have expected the REPRO on LSTA and LSTB to have been used, giving the user a copy of their message. (Even more confusingly, we thought that *was* the behavior at one point...)
