Some implementations of majordomo can be configured to parse keywords
found in the first few lines of a message.
If your message had a subject containing words such as "subscribe,
# unsubscribe, help, list, digest", or similar majordomo keywords, or
(^ that is there for a reason...)
if those words appeared in the first five or so lines of the message
body, majordomo may have gotten confused.
This is configurable by the list maintainer. The inclusion of the
"help" keyword is particularly annoying on technical support lists,
and usually majordomo's misfeature of attempting to parse text is
turned off.
If the body of your message has a keyword at the beginning of a
line, this could also be an issue.
