To extend this subject, I have often wanted to have an easy way to notify
nomailers of changes in policy or new methods, etc. Yet with about 250
"professional" list subscribers who find it easier to read their messages on
a great website that combines about 110 lists (not all Listserv) in the
world on the same subject as mine, but still retain their posting
privileges, I find it onerous to try to work up a list from the query "with
nomail for *@*".  Such a list would have to be constantly reconfirmed anyway
as people are always changing from mail to nomail and vice versa.

I would hope Listserv would come up with a sorting command that would give
addresses only for nomail people. It would be helpful to be able to identify
and send messages just to "digest" people, too.  Is there any hope?
