Just a simple but useful patch: If someone sends an administrative request to the -request address, he or she may leave the subject line empty, writing the commands(s) in the body of the message. Netscape and other mailers suggest a default subject "(no subject)", and the sender will get an error report because (no subject) is no valid command.

Best Wishes, Ralf
