Subscribing by email

[Bill Guion <bguion @ sgt-inc . com>]

Typically we manage our mail lists by direct editing. A typcial 
record in a file looks like:
<name @
domain .
com>^tfirst_name last_name (^t is a tab which I 
represent here since you can't see a tab.)

We do this because some people don't use easily recognizable names 
for their email address. It is rare, but some look like 
bill3425 @
something .
com .
 Should I need to do something for Bill Smith, 
I may not recognize bill3425 as his email address. But, I can search 
for Bill and find his record if I have his full name in the record. 
And, majordomo uses this just fine.

Now I have a need for another individual to maintain a few of the 
lists, and the easiest way for him to do this is be email. Email 
message to majordomo @
domain .
com, contents of
approve password zubscribe test <bguion @
comcast .
net>^tBill Guion. The 
zubscribe works just fine, but only the email address 
(bguion @
comcast .
net, no <>'s) gets appended to the file.

Is there a way to subscribe by email and get the format I want in the file?
