[Mailman-Developers] Patch: ignoring (no subject) in the subject line of a administrative request

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
