That's a neat solution, except for the fact that this is not what section
2.13.8 says.  Quoting from there:

    You will get the [message sent to the superlist] if you have an
    active (not NOMAIL) subscription to at least one sub-list.  The
    idea is that the super-message must be equivalent to posting to
    all the sub-lists, without the duplicates.  Since all it takes
    to get a message posted to all the sub-lists is a single
    non-NOMAIL subscription, this is how the super-list works.

My solution to this problem is to use REVIEW FOO-L to prepare a list of
recipients and than let LISTSERV do a DISTRIBUTE job of my message to
this list.
