Let's just say "We haven't had really good luck, so far, in overcoming
L-Soft's Corporate inertia" on some things.  If we move the list to a
different server (anyone volunteer?  <G>) and coded this ourselves, we
could do as we wished.  As things stand I have not reliably even
received "go away" responses from L_Soft when I post to them.  Thus I'd
guess this is unlikely to change.

Few digests are done properly, I've noticed that, definitely...
