Both the subject and the body of a message sent to the list-request address are scanned for commands. If the subject doesn't contain a valid command, it is ignored, but whether or not the subject contains a valid command, the body is processed line by line until an error occurs, an 'end' command is reached or there are no more lines. If you put subscribe in both the subject and body of a message to the list-request address, the two subscribe commands are both processed. If you want to consider that a bug, you can, but consider that you might want to request subscription for two addresses in one request email. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
