[Mailman-Users] Problems building 2.1a3

[Dan Mick]

Did you install misc/email.*gz first, like the instructions say to?

    Mailman 2.1 now requires the "email" package, which comes as part
    of Python 2.2.  If you are running an older version of Python,
    then you need to install the standalone email package by doing the
    following steps:

    % cd misc
    % tar zxf email-0.93.tar.gz
    % cd email-0.93
    % python setup.py install
