Our internal corporate email structure now uses a hierachy of list to distribute email. One thing that would fix the problem and make a lot of sense is to have the distribution of email to subscribers of sublists (ie. list A) follow the DEFAULT configurations for the parent list (ie. list B) when a message is posted to list B. So, if the default setting of list B is REPRO, then the poster should get a copy of the email they posted. It was my understanding that this (follow the default) functionality would be implemented in the final 1.8d version. I don't know whether it actually was or not because I we are still running 1.8d beta. can someone at LSoft confirm whether this functionality has been implemented in the final version? Thanks.
