Actually, this  kind of behaviour  is called  a "design choice".  You can
make a case  for doing it one way,  and you can make a case  for doing it
the  other way  ("Hey, I  never put  NO SUBJECT  in my  message!") I  was
waiting to see how many people agreed/disagreed.

Likewise, I tend to have more  respect for suggestions coming from people
who don't scream  BUG at the first opportunity and  who don't assume that
LISTSERV developers are a bunch of  idiots whose main concern is to avoid
admitting that they may have forgotten to write 2 lines of code.
