Actually, that isn't relevant to my point.  

My point was that the wording was intended to mean "body" where it says 
"message."

I wouldn't even start to disagree about the wording needing to be clearer since 
I agree.

Actually, "Message content includes the message header section and  the 
possibly structured message body.". The footer inserted by listserv is 
improperly worded.

Terminology has changed somewhat, but "message" means "body". It will not work 
if you put it only in the subject. You will get a message back:

Not sure if that goes in subject and or body?  try both.

I just tried it. It returns useful subscription info.

I'm not sure that the subject text and capitalisation matter but, for the
record, I used the subject INFO and text was:-
INFO IBM-MAIN

Thanks.

And always say "Thanks" when talking to a computer :)
Without them I'd probably be fixing vacuum cleaners or tiling bathrooms. 
 Both which are still fun to do, by the way.
