Yes, I have found that in most instances the problem is that the command is
sent as an attachment. LISTSERV doesn't seem to like that. When someone
has a complaint of that sort I toggle to full header display, hmmm,
multipart/mixed (or whatever). I then suggest the person try the command
again, with a cc: to me, and if that is sent the same way I tell him to
change content-type: to text/plain. In my experience that fixes the
problem 99% of the time, and usually the person has no gripe about doing
it, had no idea his mail was set that way (accepted the default and never
investigated).
