As the maintainer of LISTSERV here, recently I've noticed a lot of mail is being sent to LISTSERV with a command in the Subject header field, instead of in the body of the mail (as is required). I'm mentioning this for two reasons. First, if you're a list owner or a BITNET representative at your site, this may be a good time to remind your users that commands must be in body of the mail instead of the Subject field. Second, I'd like to suggest that perhaps a future version of LISTSERV could recognize mail that contains a valid command in the Subject field and has no body, and in that case process the command. I may be missing something, but I can't see how that change would cause any problems, and it would clearly be helpful to many users. Peter
