Okay, I've tracked this down. Mailman had a probelm with the temporary patch I installed to fix the empty-archive thing, so it didn't patch in cleanly. when I updated to the CVS, the merge botched. it's not a problem, if you installed the SECOND patch barry released, or didn't patch it at all.

Itchy, and thus subscribing

Hi all, I'm just kicking in with Python, having had an insane Python devotee whispering it in my ear for the past six months, so I've been looking for code to peruse, and hopefully contribute to. Given that I use mailman on a daily basis (actively and passively), and I have a couple of itches, I thought I should join up, and read up. One thing I'd like to do, that doesn't seem to appear on the TODO list, is provide an extra option for moderators: bouncing to another address. Dealing with a few lists, I find that some useful emails are sent to inappropriate addresses, and it would be cool to just bounce 'em out instead of cutting them off. Anyhow, I have to go read the code before I get all ambitious, don't I? Of course, I ought to thank you all for a kickarse piece of software too. :) - Jeff -- jdub(a)aphid.net ----------------------------------- http://slug.org.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to express it.

Re: [Mailman-Developers] List-* header suggestion

Does it do laundry, too? > Folding them would be a good idea, IMHO. I see the ones on the mailman-* lists as folded. I see the ones from the exim lists (again Mailman 2.0beta6) as unfolded. An MTA is playing silly games with the headers which is normally the sort of gratuitous fiddling that sendmail does... except the system that is playing games appears to be a postfix one (I expected better from Wietse). I do agree that they *should* be folded by mailman when generated. BTW Ron, any chance you could get rid of the gratuitous HTML multiparts.
