I made several changes to list headers at the same time a while back and couldn't recall for sure which ones were retroactive and which weren't. Now, putting RENEW in the Default-Options *does* work retroactively, at least it did for AUTOCAT, to my cost. I hadn't expected it as most of the keywords don't work retroactively, but RENEW sure did. If it ain't supposed to there must'a been a bug somewhere, as 3500+ subscribers were set to RENEW as soon as I changed the header.
