Re: Majordomo drops multi-line Subject:

As someone who does a lot of moderation using both mailman and
majordomo every single day, I can assure everyone that both
of them suck in their own way. Majordomo is nice in that I can
view a whole bunch of lists at once, and accept/reject en masse,
across many lists. Plus, it has a gazillion options, some of which
are useful and that mailman does not have yet. Majordomo stinks because
it only shows the "from" on the main moderation page, and not the
subject line, which would *really* speed up the moderating. Mailman
is nice in that it shows the subject, but also gives a whole irritating
box per message, which makes quick moderating a pain. I'd rather have
a single line list.

You've got to be kidding: that sounds horrible. I don't want an email
for every message that comes in. I want to handle them all at once,
on /my time frame/. In addition, many of the lists I moderate are
admin'ed by more than one person, so sending the message to all
moderators is extremely inefficient.

As much as I dislike majordomo, I'm not seeing a strong argument here
for replacing it. As far as I can tell, there are no problems with our
using it: the "unsubscribe-in-subject" thing was added to pgsql-general
and seems to be working just fine.
