Dear All,
Apologies for the delay in replying; I think Mark's "go ahead" message got eaten by my spam filter.
The issue concerns Firefox 3 being unable to authenticate with Mailman successfully as per earlier email on the subject dated 4 July 2008, archived at: 

   http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg50050.html
A packet capture taken from my PC is attached; it should open in Ethereal or Wireshark.
