Hostnames are explicitly case insensitive. Mailman flattens the strings prior to comparison. Example:

Your browser must do the flattening. With Mozilla, the above two urls both work for me. However, with Netscape 4.77, I get the "no advertised lists" message when using the second url.
Urk.
This is bad, a bug, and needs to be fixed for 2.1.

Indeed!
Looks like Mozilla flattens the hostname case but Lynx does not (convenient for testing! :).

Fixed it is. I'll simply fold to lowercase the hostname sucked out of the cgi environment before doing the checks.
Thanks for forwarding this to me. -Barry
