Correct.  It's an umbrella list, and I've changed that radio button 
to Yes now for sending reminders to the owner.

Also correct.  We have no regular users - just list names - as 
members on these lists.

That's what I was afraid of, and why I thought I'd better consult the 
experts here before doing anything like that!

Great idea.  I've done it and when the next broadcast blast goes out 
I'll watch to see what happens.  I'm sure this will fix it.

Thanks so much, Mark!
