I wrote the list asking why NOREPRO wouldn't work with a super-list.
Ben Parker <[log in to unmask]> responded with:

This sounded good -- all I needed was to add the Default-options= keyword
to my superlist SLIST -- but I went to it and found that it already
had Default-options= REPRO.

In my list that works right, the list is self-moderated.  In the list that
does not work right, only editors may post.  Might this be related?

Here are possibly relevant portions of list headers:

PUT SLIST LIST PW=XXXXXXXX
* Owner= Owner(ANOTHER_LIST)
* Send= Editor,Hold
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro
* Sub-lists=LISTA,LISTB

PUT SLIST2 LIST PW=XXXXXXXX
* Owner= Owner(ANOTHER_LIST)
* Send= Editor,Hold
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= (LISTA),(LISTB),(LISTC)
* Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro
* Sub-lists= LISTA,LISTB,LISTC

PUT LISTA LIST PW=XXXXXXXX
* Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro

PUT ANOTHER_LIST LIST PW=XXXXXXXX
* Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro

Thanks,
