Ah, that's a good clue. Try getting the latest listserver.js from
http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/exec/listserver.js and
set BodyCommand=false in your ctrl/listserver.ini file. This will allow command
*only* in the subject (assuming SubjCommand=true) and thus ignore any
MIME-encoded body text in control messages.
Let me know how that works for ya,
