I've just been watching messages from someone who is too sophisticated 
to reply to the confirm message, but not sophisticated enough to 
realise that their HTML loving MUA trashes the confirm response by 
wrapping in layers of MIME :-)

Do we want to remove this part of the confirm message to alleviate 
this:-
> - or include the following line - and only the following line - in the
> message body: 

> confirm 409078 

or is there a case for making the confirm web enabled too, so the 
confirm message looks something like:-

- or follow this URL
   http://www.exim.org/mailman/confirm/list-name/1234567890

and have that URL do the appropriate magic?  
[We do almost exactly this for the monthly reminders, so it seems OK]

	Nigel.
