Oh right, now I get it. I told you I didn't know Python, but I should have
been able to figure that
def __init__(self, outfp, mangle_from_=True, maxheaderlen=78):
meant that it defaulted to True in Generator.py so didn't need to be
changed in Mailman.

That is distinctly possible. The archives in question go back to 1998. I
didn't keep track of when the *last* unescaped From_ line was put in the
archives.
