I would just like to restate my plea for the ability to manage Mailman 
without needing javascript.  Note that I'm not saying don't use any, I'm 
merely asking for it to be possible to use without it.

I use lynx as my primary browser, and while general web surfing can be a 
bit tricky these days, it's very quick and useful for doing admin-type 
things, and I for one would like to be able to continue to do so. 
Certainly I have no problems using Mailman 2'.1's interface with lynx, and 
have been doing so for many years.

If my memory serves me correctly, this was generally felt to be a 
reasonable request when I first mentioned it.  I'm sure it's in the 
archives somewhere.

Geoff.
