No, it'd be:
Editor= [log in to unmask],(AUTOCAT)
Your form would say the userid can send to the list, which doesn't make
much sense. :-) The latter form means, "members of AUTOCAT."

Yes, it tells the server to check the list, just like Send=Private. The
difference is in what it does with rejects.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm baffled why people use redistribution services
these days. About the only redistribution that makes sense to me is to a
global NETNEWS (UseNet) group, and that's a well known case.

ps - Yeah, I know my lastname is misspelled as I spell it. It turns out my
grandfather was an attorney who signed his name a lot. He got tired of
capitalizing the F, and the rest is bad French grammar and family history.
