I have nothing to add to the subject topic, but I just want to point
out that the Python 2.6.x incompatibility I mention in the post at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2009-September/067223.html>
also affects holding messages when HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = No.

Just for information, Mailman versions older than 2.1.12 are
incompatible with Python 2.6.x. Mailman 2.1.12 was intended to be
fully compatible with Python 2.6.x, but we missed one change which
only affects preserving messages for the admin from the admindb
interface and holding messages as text files. A patch for this issue 
is in the above post. This does not affect Mailman 2.1.12 when used
with Python 2.4.x or 2.5.x. See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9> for more detail.
