I think it would be really difficult to eliminate the options login
paqe completely without hacking the code. You could work around it
when coming from the listinfo page, but what if someone goes to the
options page directly without being logged in?
We are definitely aware of the shortcomings of the current GUI and are
trying to do better for Mailman 2.2.
In the mean time, one thing you can do which involves only a minor code
change is in the Format() method of the Document class in
htmlformat.py, you can insert a stylesheet reference immediately before
output.append('%s<BODY %s' % (tab, SPACE.join(quals)))
something like
output.append('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" '
'href="path/to/style.css">')
output.append('%s<BODY %s' % (tab, SPACE.join(quals)))
This will add the stylesheet reference to all pages except those built
from templates that have their own <head> section.
