I got back an "ack" saying delivered to 520 recipients.
No REPRO (at least yet).  Now back on mail, so unless the REPRO
copy arrives later (in which case I'll update), we can assume
that NOMAIL overrides REPRO.

Actually, now that I think of it, since DIGEST overrides REPRO,
I guess I would expect NOMAIL to override REPRO.

Whether these *should* behave this way is a design decision, I'm sure.
There would be more flexibility if it didn't.  (I can't actually
picture very many cases where it matters, but since REPRO can
always be turned on/off anyway, maybe in the future Eric
can be persuaded to make REPRO work "always" when set.)
