Howdy,

I successfully upgraded from 2.0.13 to 2.1 today, with minimal fuss
and pain.  Some comments:

a) I can no longer get sync_members to work.  It always gives the
following error:

   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/opt/mailman/bin/sync_members", line 286, in ?
       main()
     File "/opt/mailman/bin/sync_members", line 258, in main
       s = email.Utils.formataddr((name, addr)).encode(enc, 'replace')
   UnboundLocalError: local variable 'enc' referenced before assignment

I really miss sync_members...

b) The ability to turn off RFC2369 mail headers on a per-list basis
is a huge win for me, for a few cranky list-owners that hated seeing
the list management stuff in Eudora.  Thank you, thank you.

c) The ability to turn off subscribe/unsubscribe passwords and/or
list-owner confirmation on a per-list basis would also be a help.
After converting from majordomo to Mailman, some of my old list-owners
hate the password thing, and so are less than happy with Mailman
(I am however).

Question:  How to I get searchable archives?  Like

http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

for my own mailing-list archives?  How come this doesn't come as
a part of Mailman?
The www.mail-archive.com site use the htdig search engine which is available from http://htdig.org and is also included in several Linux distributions. However, that site uses the MHonArc archiving software rather than MM's builtin Pipermail archiver.

One approach to integrating builtin-Pipermail-archiver constructed MM archives with htdig is to apply the following patches in the order given to a MM 2.1 build directory:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=661138&group_id=103&atid=300103
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444879&group_id=103&atid=300103
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=103&atid=300103

You will find a comprehensive INSTALL.htdig-mm document is available in the MM build directory after applying patch #444884

You might also like to check out other options with the MM FAQ:

Note that the extra #661138 patch needed with MM 2.1 hasn't made it into the FAQ yet.
