But when you send a message to a super-list it isn't being sent to the
sub-lists, just the *subscribers* on those sub-lists.

I already got shot down once for suggesting this (but it works for us :-)
- instead of using the super-list setup, *subscribe* the "sub-lists" to
the "super-list". Then messages to the "super-list" are sent to the
"sub-lists" (not just the subscribers of the sub-lists) and the options
the subscribers have set on each (sub-)list are honored.

   I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier
   than the people who have to wait for them.
