I always (almost always) get out-flank this problem by doing all
subscribe/unsubscribe messages straight from my unix shell -- bypass the
offline mailer -- just to make sure everything is always the same.

But anyhow, was thinking of a way any fledgling Yarfers might get around
this.... in your Yarf.cfg make these two definitions:

"^To: listproc@"::"real@email.adr (Real Name)"
"^To: majordomo@"::"real@email.adr (Real Name)"

that way Yarf will always make sure to put your real address and/or name
(real name is optional there) when sending commands to those two particular
list processors anyhow, automagically.
