I normally run junkbuster so cookies are turned off. Can mailman check for this situation and alert that cookies are not functioning instead of just asking again for the name/password with no indication of why?
Actually, better: I'm not a cookie expert, but I think that some cookies are saved on disk and other cookies (session cookies?) are kept in memory and lost when the browser is closed.
Junkbuster does let session cookies through apparently. Would it be possible for mailman to issue a session cookie if the regular cookie didn't go through?

I use Junkbuster and have seen no evidence of this. It allows cookies to be set by sites I tell it are allowed to set them and no others. Period.

Based on the observed behaviour of Mailman, it appears to me that it uses session cookies only. (If I shut down Netscape and restart it, I have to log back in to Mailman. That's how session cookies act.)
