It is. This is a new feature of 2.1, folks. And I disagree strongly with Nigel that it's a bad idea. I've been running my lists with personalization on for about 10 days now (they got all the pain fixing things...), and it's a nice plus. It'll be nicer once Barry adds some of the personalization into the footer. Once this is turned on, you can do some neat things like pre-load the URL for the listinfo page so it takes a user to their info directly, not a generic page where they have to figure out what to do.
It's a feature, not a bug.
But it is a "bug" to enable this behavior on existing lists without alerting people clearly. Obviously it's screwing up many people's filters. List administrators take note -- don't do this on your own lists when you upgrade!
