Yes, "OK" is not a 'command' but is the primary response when a command has been given that requires confirmation.  So in a sense "OK" actually IS a command, thus it may not be the first non-blank element of a message sent to a list.

A user responded to a list with the following:

OK here.
Kraig

Listserv rejected the message thinking it might have been a command.  OK 
is not a vailid command (at least not listed on REFCARD).

Was it just because it was a two word sentance on the first line?  I'd 
like to let the user (and my CIO) the reason.
