Right, I understand the difference between Watching First Post and Watching in general.
Just setting our Announcements forum to Watching won’t work, though, because if we post a race announcement, for instance, someone is going to reply to that email with a question that may be perfectly legitimate but shouldn’t be pushed out to 600+ people. (Worse, what has also happened is that people receive the first post, and reply to it as way of sending a thought-to-be-private message to the sender.) There are a lot of non-technical people in this group, and experience has already shown that there’s no way they’re going to understand the consequences of various actions.
That’s why what I’m looking for is a way that I, as an admin or at least privileged user, can cause a post to be “sent again” as one would do in email.
