In the old system, the individual HTML archived messages listed the poster's name and email address at the top of the page. For all messages after the upgrade, this is now being created as the poster's name with the list address (instead of the user's email).
it was: Tom Smith tsmith@domain.com now is: Tom Smith list@listaddress.comIs this normal? Can anyone offer any insight into this? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
IMHO this is NOT just an upgrade problem...
I have the same problem on one of my lists, and I am using Python 2.0 and initially installed Mailman 2.0 and then upgraded to 2.01. Only one of my numerous lists suffers from this problem. I tried wiping out the archives and each time they get recreated with the same problem.
I just tried creating a new, test, list and it seems to function fine (I used the default options). Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here?

I'd guess it's related to the setting of "reply_goes_to_list" [General Options page of the list admin interface, described as "Where are replies to list messages directed?"] If this is set so that replies default to the sender, the archive shows the sender's email address. If the default reply goes to the list, the archive shows the list address. It seemed pretty consistent across the lists I checked.

I don't think that's it -- all of my lists have this set the same -- they have the default value of "poster" set for this...

I think it is true that the "reply_goes_to_list" decides(indirectly) if the sender's e-mail is displayed in the archives or the list e-mail addresses [as described below]. Actually, my experiment showed that if the Reply-To: field is present in the messages it is used to set the addresses in the archives. Given that "reply_goes_to_list" will set Reply-To: to list's address, that is the address to show up in the archives.
Question: Is this as per design? My understanding is that the "reply_goes_to_list" should not be the deciding maker on whether sender's e-mail address shows in the archives or not. There are other setting to decide about this.
Any comments?!
thanks, Mentor
