That's so for Mailman 1.1, and for old versions of 2.0beta. It's been fixed
somewhere between 2.0b3 and 2.0b4, IIRC. At least, if we're talking about
the same thing :) Since you don't elaborate on what's actually *wrong* with
the 'From ' lines, I can't say for sure :) The problem used to be that the
date on the 'From ' line wasn't in the default 'time.ctime()' format, but
rather in the format of the date string that was contained in the message
itself.
