You may be pleased to know that the new list software will not have
the same sensitivity.  It will correctly process quite variant
Subject: formats, massaging them back into cannonical form.  

The web-based archives are cute too -- if bloody frustrating to get

anything but producing mass-murdering necrophiliac psychotics and
other less savoury loonies is beyond me. (Go python!))
