This happens now and then and I wonder how the subscribe even gets to the list 
if the person didn't subscribe correctly to begin with.  I sometimes send a 
mail from my comp at work and it requires a added step asking that the mail 
be put through to the mail list.  So how does the subscribe message show up 
like it does if the person isn't subscribed to the list?  Weird things are 
afoot, methinks.
