That's definitely another way to go.  OTOH, it's possible that folks  
will reverse proxy MM2.2 through the /mailman/ prefix, or possibly a  
totally different prefix, so I think we still need to support  
relative urls as much as possible.  But you might be right that it's  
unreasonable to continue to support CGI now that we have a better way  
to do it.

Possibly something like it -- which I think ultimately boils down to  
encoding enough of the original url in a rewrite rule so that the  
back-end Mailman in this case can figure out how the front-end was  
accessed.  The only other alternative would be to hard code it in the  
config file I guess.

Cool, thanks.  I may commit a few changes in this area, but I'll try  
not to mess you up too much ;).
