Hi Christopher and others!
I post this message to the list because I know the reason for the error,
but not the cure, as I am not familiar with the use of majordomo.

Here is an extract from RFC 822. It contains the core rules for building
a compliant message:
--- snip ---
field = field-name ":" [ field-body ] CRLF
fields = dates ; Creation time,
source ; author id & one
1*destination ; address required
*optional-field ; others optional
message = fields *( CRLF *text ) ; Everything after
; first null line
; is message body
--- snap ---
"Everything after first null line is message body" - see? The null line
definitely has to be there, which means your mail composer creates -
well, sorry - trash (from the point of view of a RFC-compliant mail
reader).
Regards
