[Mailman-Users] mhonarc patch

[Peter Knowles]

Mark,

First off, to clarify, yes we're using version 2.1.18-1.

Next, the "Version.py" issue has been resolved. I had forgotten to apply
the "modinc" prerequisite patch.

The only error that remains when applying the "mhonarc" patch is:

Hulk #2 FAILED at 106.
1 out of 2 hulks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Mailman/Mailbox.py.rej

*** Attached is a copy of "Mailbox.py.rej" ***

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Peter Knowles
