First, thanks to those who developed Smart List.  It was
exactly what we needed.

Couple of questions:

1.  Currently, list subscribers do not receive a copy of
    their own posting when they post something to the list.

    I've checked the FAQ and the manual, and I don't see a
    way to allow list subscribers to receive a copy of their
    own postings.

    For the time being, I've used the recipe from the FAQ
    to set up an auto-reply, so the Sender at least knows
    that their message was received and posted successfully.

    But, for the long-term, I'd like to set it up so that
    subscribers will receive a copy of their own list postings.

    Is there a recipe that I can add to rc.local.s20 in order
    to accomplish that?

2.  If I am manually maintaining the dist/accept file for a
    particular list, and I want to temporarily comment out
    a subscriber so that they will not receive list postings,
    would this be the correct syntax:

       ([email protected] (User's Name))

    I'm concerned about the nested comments for (User's Name).

    Will that throw off Smart List, or can Smart List handle
    nested parens?

Thanks in advance
