This is a short patch to Majordomo 1.94.4 to make it use LIST-owner
as the default sender address for list mail and errors rather than
owner-LIST.  You can apply this patch by copying it into your Majordomo
directory and typing:

        patch < owner.patch

If you don't have patch on your system, you can obtain it from
prep.ai.mit.edu (or any mirror) in /pub/gnu; I highly recommend you
install it.  Alternately, you can just make the below changes by hand
(there aren't very many).
