Well .. I'm one of those people that can't read, after all, who really 
reads the Welcome messages? It's just a message that says just that, 
welcome to the list .. here's how to un-subscribe, here's the URL to the 
FAQs, etc. Anyhow, stating the intensions of the message in the subject 
is just commonsense :)

I third your motion ...
Maybe you can send a copy of the welcome message to everybody that sends 
mail with the only word in the subject line is 'Help' .. ie: Help!! not: 
Help with XFree86 3.3.6
