Yes, thanks, I use Pine, and have configured it to enable the Headers
command.  ^_^

When LISTSERV receives a subscription request, it generates a completely
new mail message based on the (From or Reply-To?) information in the
original, and sends that new message to the list owners for confirmation,
specially formatted with "// job" and "// eoj" so that it is possible to
reply or forward the message back to LISTSERV for quick approval.
However, because LISTSERV generates a completetly new message, this throws
away any header information present in the original subscription request's
message.

My question is: how can I direct LISTSERV 1.8b to send list owners that
information instead of throwing it away?

I hope this clears things up,
