Package: lurker
Severity: normal

The README.mailman.gz contains the following paragraph:

<--- cut here --->
 After testing everything you can change mailmans default archiving
 method to mbox only. That will break pipermail usage. This is mailmans
 internal archiver, and you proberly don't want to use it any longer, as you 
 have lurker now. Simply add the following to mm_cfg.py:
 ---snip---
 # "-1" - no archiving at all || "0" - pipermail archiving only
 #  "1" - mbox archiving only || "2" - both mbox and pipermail archiving
 ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 1
 ---snip---
</--- cut here ---> 

However these instructions are incorrect. If the ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX setting is set
to '1' then no archiving of the mail will occur (neither internal
[pipermail] or external). In order for external archiving via lurker to
be done then the ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX setting should have the value '0' or
'2'.

I admit that the comments from mailman's configuration file are
misleading, they should be changed to:

 # "-1" - no archiving at all
 # "0"  - internal (via pipermail) or external archiving only
 # "1"  - mbox archiving only
 # "2"  - internal (via pipermail) or external archiving, in addition to mbox
 #        archiving

The bug is present in all lurker releases (stable/testing/unstable).
