Can it be added to the wishlist?

Well, I wrote a little script to tell me what it's actually machine on (as I 
have a copy of the rejected mail) just to see. (If I can work out how the 
logging works, it should be a relatively simple modification to tools.pl to 
have it log the reason for the reject).

What I get is:
        Subject: List organization stuff
        matched subject on: lists?
This doesn't seem right as "lists?" should not match that string as I 
understand regexp's.

That makes sense. Should I just wait for the next release then and not worry 
about the strange matching behaviour?
