Hi all!
Here's my problem: apparently Mailman 2.1b2 allows spaces in list
names. Fine. That's handy, but when I try to log in to the newly
created admin page for such a list, I get this cookie error:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1b2
We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Traceback:

I can only assume this has to do with the space in the list name. This
isn't a huge problem, but if Mailman's going to allow spaces, it should
handle them correctly. At least, is there any way to prohibit the
creation of lists with spaces built in to Mailman (e.g. it gives the
user feedback and they can go back and fix this, or Mailman could
automatically remove spaces or replace them with hyphens or underscores)?
Thanks!
