I know this one; I solved it for my Prodigy subscribers a few days ago.
Majordomo reads that initial dash on the first line in the body of the
message the same way it reads the word "end". Majordomo ignores the
message after that dash. This is explained on page 229 of the O'Reilly
book.
You'll have to create an approval message without first getting a
subscription request from your Prodigy users (unless they can kill off
that initial --[ From: thingy; my users don't know how to).
My users report that Prodigy will close down after October, that being
their best alternative to becoming Y2K-compliant.
Karen.
