[Mailman-Users] noob here

Be sure that you are using the latest version of Mailman version 2.1.1

This may be a problem where you already have a cookie stored for the
Mailman site and that cookie is incompatible with the current format. 
Try deleting all the cookies and then attaching to the site.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
