Thanks for the input, Dan.

Unfortuntely, there does seem to be an addition.  I sent a test message to myself via a plain email address and via a list.  Here are the subject lines from each:

List:
To: [listname]@umr.edu
Subject:      This is a test message.  Ignore it.

Plain address:
To: [plain addy]@umr.edu
Subject: This is a test message.  Ignore it.

There are actually several spaces prepended, it would seem.
