The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["David E. Bernholdt" <address@concealed>]

I think there is a bug in the processing of Subject: for commands.
If someone sends messages with the following headers:
        Subject: subscribe
        Subject: Re: subscribe
In both cases Sympa replies
        List '' does not exist
and refuses to process the rest of the list (body), which may contain
valid subscribe commands.

The problem is that these are reasonable commands for people to have
in their subject headings if they're trying to subscribe to a list
with the actual subscribe command in the body.

Interestingly something like
        Subject: Please subscribe me
is ignored and the body does get processed.

1) Is there a simple way to turn off processing of the Subject header
   for commands?
2) In any case it seems that there is a bug in the algorithm that
   decides what's significant in the Subject and what isn't.

Thanks, David
