Well the  "official" method is to  stick "Prime= Yes" in  the list header
(and make sure your prime time  definition in LOCAL SYSVARS is what you'd
want it  to be). This avoids  telling people that their  posting is being
held because  the list  is held  and saves bandwidth,  but you  should of
course inform the list of the change.
