Thanks, and a bit of a Mea Culpa too! Re: [Mailman-Users] patch: fix line break in subject header

[Mitchell Marks]

Thanks very much, the new patches make a big improvement!  I haven't yet 
looked at really long headers or particulars of the multi-line handling 
such as those Sumeet is commenting on, but it does clear up my main problem 
(and user's complaint) of a line break coming right after the list tag, and 
hiding the substantive subject matter from Eudora users.

The mea culpa: these patches didn't work until it occurred to me to try 
restarting mailmancntl (i.e. /etc/init.d/mailman).  I didn't do that with 
previous patches, either, so they might have made more difference than I 
thought at the time.

Actually, I don't really understand why a restart from mailmancntl should 
make any difference.  I thought it was something like the old qrunner that 
ran from crontab, and that each posting meant a new Python process which 
would see the new library files.  Is there some persistent Python process 
that needs to be made to reread the libraries??

Thanks again,

Mitch
