Confirmations of membership

I've just been watching messages from someone who is too sophisticated to reply to the confirm message, but not sophisticated enough to realise that their HTML loving MUA trashes the confirm response by wrapping in layers of MIME :-)
Do we want to remove this part of the confirm message to alleviate this:-
- or include the following line - and only the following line - in the message body:
confirm 409078
or is there a case for making the confirm web enabled too, so the confirm message looks something like:-
- or follow this URL http://www.exim.org/mailman/confirm/list-name/1234567890
and have that URL do the appropriate magic?
[We do almost exactly this for the monthly reminders, so it seems OK]
Nigel.

The URL option would be really great.
