[sword-devel] 2005 date confusing our list

[Lynn Allan]

Earlier this month, I got information from the Mailman developer, Barry
Warsaw, on fixing the minor problem we are having with the sword-support
list. I forwarded it at that time, but it may have gotten lost in the finals
rush.

Here it is again. I've got some more info and contact info if the below
isn't sufficient. Mr Warsaw seems very cooperative if someone familiar with
the Mailman server wants to check with him directly
