What's the point, it's about a mailinglist, you can subscribe to by 
sending a message with a *certain* subject (e.g. 'ABC') and a *certain* 
body ('SUBSCRIBE') to PMMail, PMMail recognizes this, puts your eMail 
address into the mailing list address group and returns a welcome 
message to the address you subscibed from using a canned reply.

So, the 'author' of this particular message is not really free to 
compose an impressive message anyway ;-) And for reference puposes I 
think a 'Welcome to the ABC mailing list' message is certainly better 
than 'Re:ABC' (at least I would rather not delete the first one, but 
probabaly the second when cleaning up my mailboxes). BTW, the original 
header is explicitely quoted in the canned reply (this can be made quite 
easily)

So again: Where's the point?
