What settings are you using for the mailman-checkins list? I'm trying to duplicate your results for our project's cvs-commits list. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Bill, Someone posted a hack to remove the headers a while ago. Search the list if you're interested. The Mailman developers are just following RFC2369.

John, It looks like the regexp was redone in v1.5. ref. http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/regex-to-re/regex-to-re.html I erroneously got the Python version from the SF shell server.
