Nope. That isn't what I want. The rest of your rant is beside the 
point.

What I want is if someone sends a properly formatted majordomo
command to the mailing list then majordomo should perform the command
as if it was sent to list-request. "subscribe" is a command. 
"unsubscribe" is a command. "index" is a command. "info" is a 
command. Only check the first line. If it is a properly formatted 
command then treat the whole message as nothing but commands. If it 
isn't a properly formatted command then treat the message as text. 
IMO this would get around a lot of the problems I've had with 
administrivia getting too many false positives, as well as reducing 
administrative overhead.
