For purposes of review, it takes three "things" to do topics:

1) appropriately configured list definitions for

TOPICS=
DEFAULT-TOPICS=

2) subscriber who has SET their preferences accordingly

3) a poster who chooses the corect topics and codes the SUBJECT: line appropriately

The following is the syntax/semantic for your particular need:

TO: ABCD@listhost
SUBJECT:  TOPIC1:   rest of description

notice the use of colon and the need for "whitespace"

A futher example, it you wanted to send to folks who were interested in either topic1 or topic9

SUBJECT:  TOPIC1,TOPIC9:   rest of description

Hope this helps.
