"--" is the "standard" end of text indicator.  I put "standard" in quotes
because there isn't really a standard.  But news programs like "rn" and
other mail programs use "--" before including a signature file.  Thus
Majordomo was written to ignore any "commands" following "--", since they
are usually signatures, not commands.

I don't think Majordomo should be changed.  I don't know what to say
about procmail, though.  How about: "Bummer, dude".
