Brad, I appreciate the pointers. One of the problems(?) with mailman is that there is _so_ much information, it's close to overwhelming. My project, bogofilter, suffers from difficulty in finding the right information, even though we don't have as much info. I suspect that our documentation could be better organized than it is :-( Regards, David ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
