Well, yeah. You're asking that someone that maintains the mailing list
go and modify the mailing list software due to some trivial bug in a
non-RFC compliant client.
The bug can presumably just be fixed by changing something like this
in tin:
while (*s++ == '') { ... }
to:
while (isspace(*s++)) { ... }
So why not just do that? Then you'll have fixed the bug for all tin
users regardless of what mailing list they're subscribing to.
