Thanks. I think I got it to work. For other newbies like me who might be 
browsing the list archives, here are some instructions for applying the 
patch:

1. Download the patch to your mailman directory:

cd /usr/local/mailman/
wget 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php\?group_id=103\&atid=300103\&file_id=138283\&aid=1220144 - 
O listinclusion.patch

2. Apply the patch:

patch -p1 < listinclusion.patch

3. Restart mailman:

/etc/init.d/mailman restart

I don't think it works unless you do step 3 which confused me for a bit.
