See the reply (to one of maillist's earlier posts) at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055395.html>.

Also see <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+2.1>.

Mailman 2.1.9 et seq requires Python 2.3. In 2.1.9, the work-around is
not too difficult, but it will only get worse. Mailman 2.2 will
require Python 2.4.
