so...why not have user FW or X, send the message to _you_, who can then post it \
directly to the list?

I know it's not a technical solution, but short of hacking up your script to put at \
the top of your own .courier -> editor file, it may be the easiest...

Thanks for your rapid reply Dan.

Every week I want to forward a document sent by the planning staff of 
the company (user "FW", or user "X"), to members of the company that 
want to receive that planning.
This is not official, but tolerated (we are in France...).
I use a mailing list because I can maintain a list of emails of the 
people in the company, (which nobody else has), so that we have a  
mechanism for getting a message to anybody in the company who has a 
computer, which will probably be useful some day. If and when that 
happens, I need to moderate that message to make sure it is appropriate.
The planning staff member user "X" obviously is not part of this list, 
and should receive no message whatsoever that makes a fuss about its 
existence. He's already nice enough to mail a copy to the list at all.

So do you know how to do it ?

Thanks,

--Sam
