Ubuntu is based on Debian. I have just confirmed by testing that this problem is caused by the Debian Mailman patch "30_pipermail_threads.patch". This patch can be found by following the links from <http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/mailman> (I don't want to give a more specific URL because the URLs below this level are unstable). Thus, the problem potentially exists in all Debian/Ubuntu Mailman packages. The patch attempts to fix Debian bug #167758 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=167758>, and it may do that, but it clearly breaks this. I'll try to report this to Debian. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
