Bret, my message was not an invitation to start another flame war.
It's all been done and said, and saying it all again isn't going to
achieve anything, other than getting everyone all upset (maybe passionate
is a better word) over it again.

If you want to read the opposing arguments for this particular (and any
other for that matter) debate, go to http://www.cantech.net.au/plug/

What happened is, on another mailing list I run, enough people whinged
about it, that I delved into the source and worked out how to fix it 
there.

The advantages of running a 100% Free (as in speech) mailing list
server...

So do I hear any votes for keeping it as it is, or changing it?

No arguments please, just a Yes or No.

P.S. It's actually a very simple (one letter) change.

-       -a"Subject: Unidentified subject!" ${reply_to:+"-a$reply_to"} \
+       -a"Subject: Unidentified subject!" ${reply_to:+"-i$reply_to"} \
