[Bug 727602] Re: who command did not work with "who" in subject line

What exactly did you have in the subject and body?

For example, if the roster is limited to list members or the admin, the
required command form is

  who <password>

If you put just "who" in the subject and "who <password>" in the body,
Mailman will first process the "who" command in the subject. Since it
doesn't have an appropriate password, it fails and no more commands,
including the valid command in the body, are processed.

The subject of an email to the -request address can be a command. If it
doesn't begin with a valid command word, it is ignored, but if it does
begin with a valid command word, but the full subject is not a valid
command, it is an error and no further commands will be processed.
