My original question was intended to clarify that you had done the right thing.

It might be worth creating a second test list and seeing if that picks up the original or revised defaults. >-- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://www.belnet.be > >------------------------------------------------------ >Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
