Summary: HTML archive permissions block mail delivery

Initial Comment:
Mailman version 2.1.6b4.

Mail delivery stopped suddenly after one week of normal 
operation and silently, mails being sent to shunt queue. 
Here is the error log:

I found that the reason was that HTML archives were 
handled by an external archiver that sets its own file 
permissions for HTML archives (worked for earlier 
versions). Mailman archiving was limited to mbox only 
and was not affected by file permissions issue. After 
upgrading to 2.1.6b this problem manifested, but 
unfortunately not immediately, but after one week of 
normal operation, and silently (I was warned by a list 
moderator that approved mail is not sent out).
