This causes the message to be misrouted. This isn't an "end of >> the world" issue for me. However, it would be nice if the listserver >> forced a "Subject:" line, even if it simply contains the list name tag. > >Jeff Kell <[log in to unmask]> I reported this behavior as what I believed to be (and I still believe it to be) a "bug", but probably on LSTOWN-L rather than this list, about a month ago. It was met with deafening silence, which leads me to believe this is truly a defective behavior that was not thought out in the implementation. Nobody likes to say, "gee, we goofed, we forgot about this case." Yet, I would have more respect if the LISTSERV folks would just admit that they goofed here and say they'll fix it in the next rev. Oh well. Cheers, Stan
