Ah, another 'proof case' for my STRONG belief that List Owners should almost
*NEVER* 'ADD' people or 'SET' options for them or, in fact, issue any
commands that the use can and SHOULD send themself.  LISTSERV *IS* an
'automated list processor' and these things should best be left to the
automated process (LISTSERV) to figure out and get correct.
