Any relative reference to anything on a page that is served by a
Mailman CGI is going to be relative to that CGI and will re-invoke the
CGI. Whether or not it works depends on the context:

For example, if there were a tag like <a href="listname"> on the page
served by <http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/> (there isn't,
but), that would work because it is equivalent to
<http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/listname> which is a URL that
does the expected thing. Although, even that wouldn't work if the URL
that invoked the page didn't end with '/'.

OTOH, a reference to "some/javascript" is not going to work because
<http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/some/javascript> is not going
to serve the javascript; it's going to attempt to serve the listinfo
page for the list named "some".
