[Mailman-Users] 2.1.4 info/html issue

[Fred Stutzman]

Thanks for the advice - unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the 
solution.  

I played around with one of my own lists, and was able to replicate the

This list had no html in the info section until I added it this afternoon.  

Thanks!
Fred
