Must be a newer version than the one in Debian stable. I grepped for "mangle" in /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/*, and didn't find it. The parameter does appear in /usr/lib/python2.3/email/Generator.py, but since I don't know python I don't know how to pass it to it. I'm guessing it has something to do with changing the "g = Generator(fp)" and "g = Generator(outfp)" lines in Mailman/ListAdmin.py or more likely the "g = Generator(self.fp)" line in Mailman/Mailbox.py? Is it as simple as changing that last one to "g = Generator(self.fp,mangle_from_=True)"? -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ Do you have a point, or are you saving it for a special occasion? -- David P.
