>From the desk of Bill's amazingly simple-minded patch service:

There's something smugly satisfying about bashing Microsoft
products for their non-standard and altogether stupid behaviors.
I smile knowingly, saying: "No Majordomo is not broken. That is
Outlook causing the line to wrap and the command to be 
misinterpreted."

But after the fourth or fifth time, this merely grows tedious and
detracts from your haughty feeling of technical superiority.

The following patch provides a multi-line version of APPROVE
commands so that one is never bothered by unknowing users with
inferior mail agents.
