Subject: problems with newconfig command

I'm a list owner and I'm having a major problem trying to change the config
file.  I'd like to add some headers and $LIST in the subject line.

First I do a config list password to get the config file mailed to me.

Then I edit the config file to add the stuff I want.

Then I send mail with newconfig list password to get the new config installed. 

that's not what's happening.

When I do the last step, I get back the message
unknown key |12952| in file list.new.config at line 1
*******
I need to explain something here.
When I get my config file mailed to me from majordomo, it gets sent like this.


--

>>>>config list password
#and here's the complete config file

******
The reason why I wanted to show you the above is that the -- comes down in
the mail from majordomo.  So does the >>>>

First, I sent it back with 

--

newconfig list password
#here's the rest of the new config file

I get back a message from majordomo saying  

--

>>>>--
END OF COMMANDS

and nothing has changed in the config file.

So I figured that it didn't know what the -- meant, and figured it meant
nothing.

So I took out the --, and thats when I get the unknown key |12952| in file
list.new.config at line 1.

We looked at config.parse.p, and since that appeared to just be a parser, we
just edited the current config file, but that didn't seem to have any effect
at all.

We also looked at the writeconfig command, but the way I understand that,
that will create a standard configuration with majordomo defaults, and
therefore will not have any of the enhancements that I want.

So I'm totally stuck.  Otherwise the list is working fine.

If anyone can give me any advice I'd sure appreciate it.
