Bug Description

mailman's web interface rejects emails that start with
a dash.
I.E. -<email address hidden>

Running 2.1.1 on RH9

error message:
Error subscribing: -<email address hidden> -- Hostile address
(illegal characters)

According to RFC2822 this should be a valid email
address. (If I read it correctly)
