You might be thinking of the ones I wrote for 2.0 beta. (If so, good
memory!) I don't see them on the Sourgeforge patch manager anymore, so
any description or commentary from then is lost, I guess.

At the time (7 Sept 2000), Barry was too far along toward release to
include them, and so many changes occurred afterward that I have been
too busy to update them.

Since Sourceforge looks to have been purged, I put my patches here:
    http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/mailman/patches/

You're welcome to take and use anything you can. Updating the patch(es)
should be somewhat time-consuming, but probably not too head-scratching.
So much has changed that I don't expect diffs to apply cleanly at
all. On the other hand, the changes I made are conceptually pretty
straightforward, and if you're willing to put time into very boring
menial tasks it should be easy enough to work out using my patch(es)
as a guideline.
