The list server accepts commands when they are included in the body
of the e-mail message. Subject headings are ignored. This is an example
of a typical transaction for our list server :

$ mail listserv@zeos.com

Subject : < Ignored > 
lists
index
recip TECH
recip ANNOUNCE
get listserv zeos.phone
get listserv occidental.phone
<CTL-D> 

The list server will parse the mail message until the end of the file.
Each command will be replied to as a seperate message.
