What is a 'PROFS-only' problem becomes more than that if the local
mailer for the LISTSERV site has the LOCAL PROFS exit turned on.  It's
no 'big deal' for most users, but some less hardy subscribers get
squeamish when they see an error messsage, so one of or list owners
wanted to know if there were some special line a user could insert
within the text of the mail message to indicate that LISTSERV should
stop searching for further commands, ignoring whatever comes afterward.
Thanks.
