Subject: list config questions (header/footer)

I've finally got archiving AND digesting working, but I'm having fits  
trying to set the digest header and footer.

I tried calling digest with "-c /somepath/test-digest.cf" but it  
crashes, so I'm using the "-C -l /somepath/test-digest" option.

That's fine, but in the list config file I can't quite get 

message_footer and message_fronter to work.

If I define them like this:
---------------
message_footer    <<  END
To subscribe to Test-Digest, send the command:
subscribe test-digest
in the body of a message to "majordomo@kypris.com".  If you want
to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming  
from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that address  
to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-alicia":
subscribe alicia-fans-digest local-alicia@your.domain.net
END

message_fronter   <<  END
In this issue:
	_SUBJECTS_ 

See the end of the digest for information on subscribing to the Test
or Test-Digest mailing lists and on how to retrieve back issues.
END
---------------

it inserts it just fine, but what I really want is the following:

---------------
message_footer    <<  END
To subscribe to Test-Digest, send the command:

	subscribe test-digest

in the body of a message to "majordomo@kypris.com".  If you want
to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming  
from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that address  
to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-alicia":

	subscribe alicia-fans-digest local-alicia@your.domain.net
END

message_fronter   <<  END
In this issue:

	_SUBJECTS_ 


See the end of the digest for information on subscribing to the Test
or Test-Digest mailing lists and on how to retrieve back issues.
END
---------------

With the blank lines in there, it throws away everything from the  
first blank line on and rewrites the config file to look like this:

---------------
message_footer    <<  END
To subscribe to Test-Digest, send the command:

END

message_fronter   <<  END
In this issue:

END
---------------


Can anyone explain this and/or tell me how to keep the blank lines in  
there?

thanks,
   Dan
