Thanks, Wayne. I have tried to outline that I have done all this.I As I mentioned it is difficult to get help from this administrator-- I sent a ticket last night and called and e-mailed today. I don't quite understand the relevance of new subscribers and default settings to this situation. It appears to me that something has changed system-wide, as a third list on the same system that I am subscribed to but dn't own has also lost it's subject tag. Sounds like nobody on this list has experienced anything similar-- thanks. -h On Wed, Sep 18, 2013, at 11:45 AM, Wayne T Smith wrote: > Howard, > > I think people are trying to tell you that the list configuration entry > "default-options= subjecthdr" has nothing to do with whether a message is > delivered with a subject tag.
