Out of the blue, something became corrupted in the mailing list manager. I had 4 mailing list manager entries and one of these was receiving email but not posting subjects. This is not the same problem as before; subjects were completely blank this time, not even a (no subject).
After playing around with it for a while, I realised the problem was somehow caused by a corruption in the database. Entry 1 worked, but entry 3 did not. I did not try entries 2 and 4. After deleting entries 2 through 4, I recreated entry 3 which has now oddly been assigned to number 5.
I sent another test message and it works. I don't know what caused the corruption, but this workaround resolved my issue. I hope this helps others.
I have two questions.
What would cause the corruption and why is this the symptom?
Why does the mailing list manager not increment from the highest number that has an entry in the database? In my case, 5 was used for the new entry instead of 2.
[Rather, I know why it does, but wouldn't it be better the other way?]
Cheers!

Possibly a unclean shutdown of MySQL deamon while a write query was being processed on the table in question.
As far as number incrementing that is something MySQL decides on rather then the forum. The id fields are automatically incremented by MySQL.
