[Mailman-Users] Attachment Rendering problems

[ajit k jena]

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your response.

U r right. This is indeed is an apache issue. I think I have solved the
problem. I just put a redirect in the "httpd.conf" file. I will reproduce 
the exact line below so that someone in future may use the info.

The line is:

	Redirect /mailman/private/ http://lists.iitb.ac.in/pipermail/

--ajit
