I have a few lists whose (partial) headers look like this: * Send= Editor,Hold * Default-Options= Repro,Review * Owner= [log in to unmask] (Wayne T. Smith) * Owner= Quiet:,[log in to unmask] * Owner= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] (Wayne T. Smith) * Editor= (another_listname) * Moderator= [log in to unmask] Now the "Default-Options=REVIEW" is simply a relic. I would have expected it to have no effect since any postings to the list should be checked against the "Editor=" entries. For 1.8b on VM I thought wrongly. The REVIEW in the posted-to list seems important! (sounds like a bug). cheers, Wayne T. Smith Systems Group - CAPS BITNET/CREN: wts@maine University of Maine System internet: [log in to unmask]
