[Mailman-Users] URL reference requires uppercase "M" for.../listinfo/Mailman?

Yes, the "RedirectMatch" was causing my problems.

However, I've tried a variety of alternative httpd.conf directives with no 
success (or at least not in all scenarios).  I want URLs to 
http://example.com/mailman to auto-expand to 
http://example.com/mailman/listinfo ...without having the problems brought 
up in my original email on this thread.

Maybe I could alternatively put something in Mailman's cgi-bin dir (the one 
http://example.com/mailman is mapped to) such that it auto redirects to 
"listinfo"?
