I've given code to torture Majordomo endlessly, but I don't think anyone
has the fortitude to run it except me. I could not duplicate any list
truncation behavior.

Well, all bets are off when your system hangs.

I wrote this code too late for inclusion in 1.94. I think Evan blasted it
with several addresses of this type when I put the test code up on a
server, but I took it down to work on the betas.

Yep. It's a pain. It doesn't always do it, either. Some versions smash
case only when queuing.

cough FAQ cough.
We don't recommend using any arguments to resend except for the required
ones (which are in lower case). That was the whole point behind the config
files. I'm not familiar with how digest works, but soon it won't matter
because 1.95 will send the message to archive and digest internally
(because of the problems with headers and footers).
