Either one. Mail sent to the LISTNAME-request address is processed as follows: If the Subject: contains a valid command or a valid command preceded by a single 'word' such as Re:, Fwd:, etc., that command is processed. Otherwise the Subject: is ignored. Then, regardless of the Subject:, Mailman continues to process body lines from the first text/plain part in the message as commands until one of the following occurs: 1) a non-blank line does not contain a valid command or 2) an 'end' command is processed or 3) a total of DEFAULT_MAIL_COMMANDS_MAX_LINES (default = 25) including blank lines is seen or 4) the end of the message part is reached. Thus, with the default DEFAULT_MAIL_COMMANDS_MAX_LINES = 25 not overridden in mm_cfg.py, you could send up to 26 subscribe commands, one in the Subject: and 25 in the body, in one message. Send a 'help' command to the LISTNAME-request address for more info on email commands. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
