I contributed a number of patches in this thread to the SourceForge
repository about 15 months ago or so. They didn't use CSS (since I
dislike CSS and/or the way people use CSS and/or the degree of control
my web browser gives me over interpretation & rendering of CSS), but
they did enable considerable customization of look and feel. I don't
think they've gotten past the 2.0a5 release I wrote them for, though,
and I don't have the time to update them -- it's unfortunately more
economical for me to have a disintegrated Mailman site than to keep my
patches up to date with a CVS version I can't afford to run for real
lists. :)

My patches cared for color schemes and banners, primarily.

If anyone wants to find them on SF and update them for current Mailman,
please feel free. At the time I wrote them, development was going too
fast for Barry to consider and integrate the patches *or* for me to keep
them up to date, so they're somewhat behind now.
