I don't see any adverts: :0 f * ^X-eGroups-Return | /usr/bin/perl -0777pi -e 's/\n-+ Yahoo!

Unless I'm very confused the London list is on mailman, which is written in Python. mailman provides a web interface. I've never really administered a list, but from a user point of view I find mailman easier to cope with that majordomo. My only gripe with it is the position of the instruction word in (say) [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have seen arguments, and I agree with them, that [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be easier to understand quickly, as the ordering better reflects how humans read things.
