I am having a similar problem to the disappearing html messages asked about yesterday, but this deals with applicants sending the subscribe command. For a few of them, when the send the subscribe to the command address, they receive a reply from the server indicating that the command could not be processed because the message body was empty and no command was found. I'm not sure the list configuration matters in this case (?) since the empty message is occuring before they even join the list. It's almost as if their e-mail application is packaging the message portion as an attachment expecting the recipient (the listserver) to unpack it restore the command text to the message portion then process the command. But the listserver doesn't unpack the attchment and instead heads straight to the message section, finds it empty and sends off a note to the sender telling them the message section was empty. If it matters, it's version 1.8e and in the configuration LANGUAGE=NOHTML. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. Kevin Doyle Patch-L
