[Mailman-Users] 2.1.4 info/html issue

[Fred Stutzman]

Hey there,

Thanks for the help - the code that is in the info section is actually 
exactly as it appears on the list front page.  

What might be helpful is to check the page source and look at how the text
has been munged - if that matches any sort of Mailman HTML-stripping
pattern (that can be recognized), we might be able to track down what in
Mailman is causing the info to display that way.

Thanks!
Fred
