Yay! People actually read some of that text in the installer :)

Currently the installer has the following message after you run a Repair 
(from Tools/msi/bundle/Default.wxl):

 > Feel free to email <a 
href="mailto:python-list at python.org">python-list at python.org</a> if you 
continue to encounter issues.

And this message after you uninstall:

 > Feel free to email <a 
href="mailto:python-list at python.org">python-list at python.org</a> if you 
encountered problems.

I wasn't aware of this - I'm sure I've emailed the list before without 
it being rejected, and I'm certainly not subscribed. Is it a recent 
change? Is it necessary?

I'd be happy to change these to point somewhere else, but the challenge 
here is the installers are permanent - whatever we put in this message 
can never change. Given this thread immediately entered uncertainty 
about what other methods are actually working, I don't want to link to 
any of them :)
