Mark Thanks for that. I'm wasn't familiar with customising Thunderbird, and my other co-moderator uses OE (for his sins). I did manage to follow the latter link of your mail to set up the header though.
I have a test list, and tried this out. I subscribed a couple of extra accounts of mine to the list, and set them to No Mail (disabled by administrator). Sending a mail to the list with the "Urgent: <password>" header worked for my normal account (this one), but not for the other accounts. Any ideas as to why? I assume it's the (A) flag? On a better note, I checked the headers and found that the password doesn't appear ;-). Don't want my more savvy members checking things out and discovering what they shouldn't ;-) Rgds MD Mark Sapiro wrote: > Brad Knowles wrote: > > >> At 8:10 AM +0100 4/2/07, Martin Dennett wrote: >> >> >>> Is there anyway I can amend the topic so that only mails >>> from a moderator address are sent to the list, and not the replies? >>> >> But there's no per-topic control over this sort of thing.
