[Mailman-Users] Strange E-mail Message About List Description

[Barry Finkel]

I created a new list today at 13:42 (Mailman 2.1.14), and the
"Description" field contained a "+" character, per the
customer's request.  At 14:00 I received an e-mail from

     From: root at lists.anl.gov
     Subject: + in description for LISTNAME

I cannot find anywhere in the source where this mail is
generated, and I do not know why Mailman objects to a
"+" character in the "Description" field.  There also is
a "+" character in the "Info" field, but there is no complaint
about that.  What generated the e-mail message, and what is
the problem with a "+" character in the "Description" field?
Thanks.
