This is only an issue if you've added list-specific customizations of the template files. If you're using the stock templates, everything will just work.

Depends on the default. ;) MM2.1 uses the same mm_cfg.py config file. F> In 2.0.10 I made a patch to newlist so it added the pipe to F> stripmime to the posting alias.

That's all handled by the MTA variable in mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py which names a module inside Mailman/MTA to glue Mailman to your mail server.
