[Mailman-Users] admin notifications for held messages

[Saurav Pathak]

i am still struggling to find out what caused the error.  after all
i have just added one line to Default.py.  why should it complain
about the version number?  i would appreciate it if someone could
give me some pointers.

anyway, this would be a nice feature in mailman.  i hope it will no
longer be a patch in the next version.

thanks,
saurav

+  Thus spake Richard Barrett:
+  
+  +  As it stands, the patch has to be applied to the Mailman source  
+  +  distribution and there are only versions for MM 2.1.2 and MM 2.1.3
+  +  
+  +  That said, it will probably work with earlier versions of MM 2.1 or can  
+  +  be trivially adapted to work with them. The code changes themselves are  
+  +  really quite small and could be added by hand to an installed system if  
+  +  you really wanted to.
+  
+  thanks for the patch.  i added the patch by hand, but got the
+  following error while trying to access the admin webpage:

+  
+  i donot understand why i should be getting this. 
+  
+  instead of the patches in all the files, I decided to add it in the

+  the Default.py patched, i still get the error.
