Hi.
 
I have a question on this, also in conjunction with a later post of yours
in which you wrote:
 
>* Send= Editor,Hold
>* Editor= whoever is the primary editor
>* Editor= (listname)                (where "listname" is the name of the list)

Now, what would the following combination do?:
 
* Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm
* Editor= whoever is the primary editor
* Editor= (listname)                (where "listname" is the name of the list)
 
Would this require *everyone* on the list to OK their posts?  Or me (primary
editor) to OK everyone's posts?  Or just me to OK my own posts (as well as
those from non-subscribers)?
 
Also, is it equivalent to combine the last two lines?:
* Editor= whoever is the primary editor,(listname)
 
Thanks in advance.
