[IronPython] Mailing List Archives Gone Private ?

[Jim Hugunin]

I believe that I fixed both the private archive and the header issues.  I'm still looking into what happened with my hosting service (dreamhost) last night to cause this and avoid it in the future.  A mailman upgrade does sound like the most likely cause.

Thanks - Jim

I'm sure it was accidental :). I'll see if I can get someone to fix it.

It *was* set to [IronPython] - but changed at the same time that the
archive went private.

Looks like another error. As a result people's filters *are* now broken
and we're getting spammed with auto-responders... :-)
