Hi, everyone -
 
I just instituted topics on my list and they're not working.  What I
intended was to use the "Other" topic for non-topic list mail, which will
be most of it.  My list is: [log in to unmask]
 
Here's what I did:
 
First I set everyone who had the DIGEST option to MAIL.
 
Then in the header I added:
 
* Digest= No
* Topics= OWLEX, SCLAB
* Default-topics= Other
 
Then I set everyone on the list to topic "other" as follows:
 
quiet set writelab topics: other for <userid>
 
and got a report that it was done.
 
Then I started adding a few people to the topics with:
 
QUIET SET WRITELAB TOPICS: +OWLEX FOR <userid>
QUIET SET WRITELAB TOPICS: +SCLAB FOR <userid>
 
and got a report that it was done.
 
BUT... test messages labelled:
 
SCLAB TALK:
and
SCLAB:
 
keep going to the whole list.  So, far, I haven't gotten a report on who is
getting the OWLEX topics.
 
I set my own topics option to ALL so I'm getting everything.
 
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

P.S.  By the way, I plan to handle the "set topic" commands myself until
things are running smoothly.  I know members can do it themselves.
