Hi Mark, Thanks for writing back, and thanks for the reference to the wiki.
<<Actually, this is (or should be) the first setting under "Notifications" which is the section immediately below "Umbrella list settings" on the admin General Options page.>> Right--I double checked and that is indeed where it is! Sorry for that. <<there is likely a separate list that is the source of these reminders.>> This is an interesting idea--I wonder if the list creator set up a test list or something prior to the xxx_xxx and yyy_yyy lists. Unfortunately I won't be able to verify this without his cooperation--so I hope he is responsive when I write to him and ask! Thanks again.
