Ok, remarkably enough this does work, which means the blank line
is getting prepended to the message _before_ it is passed to the
command in the alias.

Surely there's a way to prevent the blank line from happening in the
first place.  I find it hard to believe that everyone running a recent
version of sendmail is adding tail +2 to all their list aliases.
Or do programs like majordomo's 'wrapper' check for this and do it
if needed?
