Well, I just read the Emails on the new beta version. I hate to ask it, but was there a timetable on when we might expect it to be fully released? Just wondering cuz I just sent an Email out to my users that I'm installing 1.1 tomorrow and I'm not sure if I should just wait for 2.0. Will the upgrade path be difficult? No pressure whatsoever! ;) -Ed

htmlformat.py missing </body>, quotes on attributes
by Jim Tittsler 22 Mar '00

22 Mar '00

CVS of 2000-03-21 19:00 EST My /mailman/listinfo page was missing a </BODY> tag. It looks like it is missing from all pages generated by mailman/htmlformat.py As long as I was looking at the HTML source, I noticed that it quoted the attribute values for some of the tags (like for the BODY tag), but not those for table, table rows, and cells. That led to things like 100% and #99CCFF not being quoted literals. add </body> tag quote all attribute values -- Jim Tittsler, Tokyo Python Starship http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/

Barry, Posting also requires the server to be in 'mode reader' (at least our INN does). I think you only updated the cron/gatenews... Jim -- Jim Tittsler, Tokyo Python Starship http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/

Pb with URL sent to modify your options
by Boris Granveaud 16 Mar '00

16 Mar '00

Hi, I noticed a problem with the URL that is sent with the introduction mail (when you have just subscribed to a list). The URL is like this: http://www.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/granveau@worldnet.… If you receive with Hotmail and you are using Internet Explorer, the URL doesn't work. The browser tries to open http://www.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/ I think that if you replace granveau(a)worldnet.fr with granveau__at__worldnet.fr, it would work. Can anybody confirm this and provide a patch? Thank you, Boris.

Hi, this was just suggested to me by somebody from mailman-users: > Please write a patch which puts the string "Cookie could not be set" on the > web page so that I can see that pressing submit will not work :-) i think thats a good point... it would safe some user questions if MM tells exactly why the authorisation failed. I'm not sure if this subject has been touched already, but what allowing admins to choose between cookies and Basic-Authorization... it should be possible to use Basic-auth, right? Ricardo. --
