A sub-list subscriber has his own set of options from his subscription entry. These options override "Default-Options=". This is consistent with the way LISTSERV options work. >And for non-subscribers, only Ack= is honored, but not >Default-Options=Ack/NoAck? The problem is that the absence of ACK in "Default-Options=" does not mean that the list owner intended for NOACK to be in effect. It is difficult to move the functionality to "Default-Options=" without breaking existing headers based on "Ack=". >With subscribers it's never been obvious to me which takes precedence if >both are specified. "Default-Options=" is never applied to an existing subscriber - the options from the subscriber's entry are always used. If none of the ACK series of options were specified, "Ack=" is then queried.
