Wow, that's really obscure,, non-intuitive, and not explained in the
documentation.  :-)

Is there any reason other than history why Ack should be different from
other options?  Also, I thought I saw somethere that Default-Options,
or at least some of them, would be applied to non-subscribers.  It
certainly makes sense to me that they should be.  I guess Repro is a
special case there, however, since it doesn't make sense for a
non-subscriber to get a copy of their own post.

As for super lists, it might be nice to have the choice of subscriber
options being taken from the sublists or applying the defaults to
sublist subscribers.
