You don't need to do this. There is a freebsd port of majordomo that does
all the right things for you. You should definitely learn how to use the
ports system.

Yes, that would be why. Don't do that either. :) The port will download
the whole package and do the editing for you. You should also become
familiar with the unix editing tools so that you don't have to swap things
back and forth. Alternatively, if you're going to edit things on your
windows box use an editor like UltraEdit that allows you to set Unix mode
for your files so you don't spam them with ^M's.
Good luck,
Doug
