Hi Howard. :-)

You can have your subscribers send the command

SET yourlist-l REPRO

to receive copies of messages they've posted to your list.

o r

You could issue a

QUIET SET yourlist-l REPRO for *@*

command.

a n d

You might also consider making REPRO a default option in your
list header, like this:

*  Default-Options= Repro


BTW, I *think* REPRO only functions this way when the user is set to
"mail", and won't send a copy of the posted message to those who're
set to "digest".

If/when users get tired of REPRO, they can send a

SET yourlist-l NOREPRO
SET yourlist-l ACK

to turn off the REPRO feature and receive instead a short
acknowledgement that their message has been posted.
