Eventually they all ended up removed for bouncing and the only person remaining in that mode when the list closed was one who joined much later. (I also cut them off at the knees by giving them a four-character tag instead of the eleven-character one they were clamoring for.) That could be possible with SmartList; it would mean adding yet another pseudo-list such as the -d list for those who want digest mode. Also, the tags have to be removed from incoming posts so that, when members in tag mode reply to posts and don't change the subjects, members not in tag mode (inlud- ing those in digest mode) won't get subjects with tags.
