I have noticed that mailman uses a double dash to end message commands. I
was under the impression that a dash followed by a space (which we currently
have in our disclaimer) was correct. This certainly works with majordomo,
which is what we used to use until I became tired of the enormous amount of
administration that it took just to set up one list.

Does anyone on this list know which RFC states which is the correct one?

If of course both are valid would you be able to patch mailman to allow
"end","--" and "- "?
