Change the "confirm" procedure ....

The way it is now:
When subscrbing the list sends you a message.  You must confirm 
by responding to it, keeping the subject intact.  Just "reply" 
does it.  The body doesn't matter.

Proposed change:
The list sends you a message.  You respond, keeping the subject 
intact, but in the body you must copy the "Received" headers 
from the confirmation message.  The body must consist of that 
and nothing else.

How's that for "some sort of comprehension test".
