i am seeing this same behavior. i have also noticed that if the email has the "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" direction in the message body instead of in the subject header, the address *is* automatically subscribed or unsubscribed, as expected. i too would be interested in knowing how to fix this.
i "fixed" it via hack -- i changed the subscribe/unsubscribe directions i give out to say to put the word subscribe/unsubscribe in the message body. but, lots of people still send requests in the subject, so i'm always having to manually subscribe and unsubscribe people. this pretty much defeats the purpose of automating a mailing list manager, doesn't it? ideally, i'd like to really fix it!
