All,

I've got a list (LISTD) with LISTA, LISTB and LISTC as sub-lists of
it.  The super-list is to eliminate duplicates: people subscribed to
more than one of the sub-lists should get only one copy of general
announcements applicable to all lists.

QUESTION: Is there a way to get a list of all subscribers who would
  get messages sent to the super-list that I'm missing?  I've read the
  manual and searched the archives about super-lists with no leads.

I would use such a command to fix subscriptions from [log in to unmask]
in one sub-list and [log in to unmask] in another.  (My subscribers
are from a population where I can be sure that these are definitely
the same person.)  As it is, I query each sub-list, sort, compare,
then cull.

Complications arise when one list has the two subscriptions with one
set to NOMAIL and another list has the same subscriptions with the
other set to NOMAIL.  In other words:

  LISTA:   MAIL - [log in to unmask]
         NOMAIL - [log in to unmask]

  LISTC: NOMAIL - [log in to unmask]
           MAIL - [log in to unmask]

So LISTD would end up sending duplications to 'person', one to each
subscription.

I fear the feature I'd hoped for wasn't designed into super-lists.
Issuing 'query LISTD for *@*' gave me only the person directly
subscribed to LISTD (me), not all the potential recipients.

Might there be a SUPERSCAN command that would return SCAN-like results
on a super-list?  SUPERQUERY that does QUERYs on super-lists?

SUPERdreaming,
En paz,
Steve

  The only safe choice: Write e-mail as if it's public.  Cuz it could be.
