Did it say what the exception was?

It works for me with both Python 2.5.2 and 2.6.1.

I did make one change at line 173 I dropped a slash so it reads

        webbrowser.open("file://" + htmlfile)

Links didn't like file:////tmp/... as a URL.

Also if you supply the password in the command line, you probably need
to escape the '?' for the shell as in

$ ./mmfold.py http://www.grizz.org/mailman/admindb/list\?admpw=...
