This is an odd one....

A subscriber was bumped off a list by mistake.  He tried to subscribe
(twice) in the usual fashion but never received a reply from LISTSERV.  When
he contacted me I suggested he try Ben Parker's test of sending THANKS and
INFO <LISTNAME> in the same email to test the response.  He cc:'d the test
to me so I would know when he tried it.  The following is the header from
that test (minus the nine hops it took to get to me):

Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]>
X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 5.5.3
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 14:38:45 +1100
From: "User Name" <[log in to unmask]>
To:
<[log in to unmask]>
Cc: <[log in to unmask]>
Subject:  THANKS
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

Notice the extra garbage some mail agent (server or client?) has inserted in
the 'To:' field.  Email that he sent to me directly didn't have the extra
characters, it only seems to manifest itself when sending to LISTSERV.  Has
anyone else seen this behaviour before?  Any suggestions I can give to the
subscriber?

Chazzozz!!
