[Mailman-Developers] a bug in updating to current cvs :

[Barry A. Warsaw]

I hadn't thought about the situation where your default site language
is not 'en' and the language which /is/ your site language is missing
a template.  Mailman should always fall back to the English template
as a last resort.

Can you try this (untested) patch -- before Ousmane checks in the
French emptyarchive.html file?  I'm in a meeting so I can't test this
yet myself, but I will later tonight.  If it works, I'll check this
in.

Thanks,
-Barry
