That's pretty funny! :) A 'pickle' is a Python-specific object serialization format. It's a way to take a bunch of live Python objects, and store them in such a way that they can be reconstituted later. Mailman's "database" consists of pickles stored in files. Truth be told, it's a bit surprising that we have to translate those phrases since I doubt most Mailman users would understand what it means anyway. ;) -Barry
