Out of town for the weekend, thus the delay...

Sending this back to the list with an "Approved" line first does send it 
out, but the new message has no subject and other problems that seem to 
be due to the header (everyone from the same domain appears on the To: 
line, for example.)

The driving force behind fixing this is that the many subscribers of the 
list are rather irked to have lost their subject headers.  Any quick fix 
that would return that would give me some time to figure out the rest, 
but it appears that it's all codependent.

The subject line just says "Approval required" which according to the 
docs (?) should do:

  The requests for approval that Majordomo generates all start with
  "APPROVE" in the "Subject:" line.

I was doing the approval by hand, at the bottom of the enclosed bounced 
message header.  

In case the problem lies here, the /etc/aliases section looks like this:

>>>
owner-sample: paulp@is.internic.net
sample-approval: paulp@is.internic.net
owner-sample-digest: owner-sample
sample-digest-approval: sample-approval

sample: "|/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/wrapper resend -l sample -h 
is.internic.net -s sample-outgoing"
sample-digest: sample
owner-sample-outgoing: owner-sample
sample-outgoing: :include:/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/lists/sample, 
"|/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/wrapper digest -r -C -l sample-digest sample-digest-outgoing"

owner-sample-digest-outgoing: owner-sample
sample-digest-outgoing: 
:include:/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/lists/sample-digest

owner-sample-request: owner-sample
sample-request: "|/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/wrapper majordomo -l sample"

owner-sample-digest-request: sample-digest-owner
sample-digest-request: "|/infoguide/majordomo-1.90/wrapper majordomo -l 
sample-digest"
>>>

I do apologize if this is easy stuff, but I have no experience with 
mailing lists, and the obvious may be non-obvious to me right now.
