I've seen a user subscribe to a list this way:
subscribe photo <address> to mailing list photo
photo is the list.  Majordomo does exactly that.  It added the line
<address> to mailing list photo
to the photo list file. Not only did this right away send his welcome message
to the photo mailing list but will cause major problems if not correct
quickly by the list manager.  The question that I was wondering is if
anyway has come across this problem and how they have dealt with it.  Why does
majordomo take anything past the third word on a given line?
