FWIW, I've certainly noticed that (symlinks) to be the case with the Debian packaged versions of Mailman. (I've still not had a chance to build the Umbungo version of 2.1.12 I was going to, but had I, I probably would have tried a fix for that/this issue, someway or another. It's an annoyance to me.) Saying that, I'd not expect there to be 1283 problems... -- ``Burnham's ideas appear in `1984', more or less unchanged by their passage through Orwell.''
