This is the way Eudora's 'redirect' has always worked and it it very
non-standard per the usual mail standards RFCs. I suggest you change the list
header to Send= Editor,Hold
Then all you need do is reply to the confirmation message that LISTSERV sends
you with the one word 'OK'
With Send= Editor , LISTSERV sends you the entire message and you must resend it
back to LISTSERV with the proper 'resent-' header lines. Eudora cannot do this.
With Send= Editor,Hold LISTSERV retains the original of the message, sends you
a 'request for confirmation' to which you reply OK (which Eudora will do nicely)
and then LISTSERV releases the message.
