Re: [Mailman-Developers] suggestions for i18n

That's exactly what my "per-list template" patch, which I've been reworking for every version since 2.0beta1, does. I figure the I18N stuff will completely make the patch invalid, but "first look in the list directory" is the easy poor-man's 'list-specific' hack. The only problem you had with it, Barry, as I remember, was the minor ugliness of "passing the list around to maketext". I ended up passing list._full_name just to keep *some* of the data abstraction in place, but was never really satisfied with the solution. Maybe there should be a "get list directory" method.

Ah, good, thanks for the reminder Dan. Okay, once the language stuff is solidified I'll look at your patch and work it in.
