They don't exactly do the same thing. A message to listname-request can contain one or more syntactically correct commands of various kinds in the body and possibly one in the subject. The subscribe command sent to listname-request can optionally specify a password to be applied to the subscription, digest/regular, and an address other than the From: address to subscribe. If a message is sent to listname-join or listname-subscribe, the subject and body of the message are ignored and it is processed as if it contained a single 'subscribe' command with no options. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
