I believe a simpler solution would be for Chris to approve the messages, which
are not so frequent, and the ones which are not appropiate for the group he can
delete before they are sent to the Group. Nobody would even know of their
existence. It works for me.

I would like to send this address from YouTube. It is a zarzuela video clip
from la Jota de La Dolores, with Placido Domingo. The dancing is so exciting
that it makes you feel like jumping out of your chair and yell 'Bravo'. It
should be mandatory viewing for anybody interested in producing a zarzuela
anywhere. If they approach the liveliness and excitement of this performance,
they would have a successful production.

I get individual messages from the zarzuela group. There was one message a
few weeks ago that was so obviously spam that my server flatly refused to
accept it. This created what they call a "hard bounce," and I was
immediately unsubscribed from mail service for every Yahoo group to which I
belong. So the new method is a good idea; I'm sorry it's so much extra work
for you, though.
