I followed these instructions for a list that I moderate. It works
fine. The only thing is I have to approve my own messages -- I haven't
set my subscription options to NOREV.

Thanks, Pete!

So, forgive me for being so thick, but if I make these changes, it's
like making every subscriber be on review, so technically I am not
deploying the "edited list" functionality in the way it is described
in
the manual? Because this isn't the way those examples are set up.. (or
maybe they are now and I am just way out of date?)

I just don't want to make changes that will make what the moderators
see/do be different until I am able to answer any questions they might
ask.

Thank you so much-

Shannon  :-)

QUIET SET listname REV FOR *@*
QUIET SET listname NOREV FOR specificuserid@node

You may want to consider updating templates if you do NOT want an
auto-ack sent to non-subscriber; also moderated subscriber.
