The super-list is the equivalent of posting to all sub-lists, minus the duplicates, so you must have MAIL on at least ONE of the subscriptions if you are to receive the messages sent to the super-list. You CAN subscribe to the super-list itself, if you want to receive messages to the super-list but not to any of the sub-lists. (If you have DIGEST or INDEX set on one of the sub-lists that counts the same as MAIL--there is no DIGEST or INDEX option on the super-list.)
