Rejecting old messages in majordomo.

For the record:
I have been getting some reminder messages from majotdomo.
Unfortunately, In the reminder messages I cannot see the 
contents of the original mail that was sent at least a week ago.
Therefore I reject these mails.

Regards,
Gevik.

I just filter those to /dev/null anyway. There is so much spam on the
lists it's simply not practical to reject it all explicitly, so I
accept everything thats good and leave the rest to timeout. I know I'm
not the only one that works this way.

I am using outlook and have written a macro that sends "reject <msgid>" to
majordomo.
It works also very easy.

Yeah, it would be good if the message was shown in the reminder too.
