Requests are of the form:

The "Topic" line may be repeated for each topic you wish to receive.
The topics presently available are icmc.reg (registration form),

The key words recognised by the server are : request, topic and line-limit.
These can be upper or lower case or a mixture. They are
separated from the remainder of the line by tabs, spaces or : this

Line-limit is for use by people who have mail systems that
can only deal with small messages. Consider the following
request:
