Thanks, Mark. Seems like that would prevent me from being able to moderate other participants that do have permission to post, but must be baby-sat.

So, unless there is something else, I guess I am stuck with putting them on the list moderated, and hand-rejecting their posts.

Allowing non-posting list members would be a good feature request. 

The way we dealt with this on Topica was to have them view the archives online which obviously had to be made public.

P.S. Still looking for a regexp wizard to help delete Topica body footers and ads from the emails in my mailboxes.
