As mensioned a view minutes ago in the mailman-users list, not in evry 
template file evry format string works :-(. The problem seems to be in 
the

$mailmanpath/Mailman/MailList.py

file. Some format strings aren't set up as a property for every template 
file :-(.

It would be nice for future releases, if evry ofthen used format string 
could be used in evry template file.

Ciao,
Schoeppi
