* Review= (AUTOCAT)
 
This is identical to Private, though.

Well, the difference is that the list name doesn't have to be AUTOCAT :-)

You can only  do this by marking the list  confidential. In general, list
headers are  public so  that people  can find  out what  a list  is about
before they decide to send a subscription request.

No. See this morning's announcement... We're working on that.
