[Mailman-Developers] Re: [Mailman-Announce] Candidate Mailman 2.0.13 patch

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Barry,

As I'm running Mailman 2.0.12 on RedHat 6.2, therefore with Python 1.5.2 from the
RPM in the original install, and since I've had the problem twice now, I went right
for it.

After realizing that I couldn't paste the text into a Pico window (the longest
lines broke, giving patch errors) I got it patched, configured, and installed
without error. I sent a message to my test list and got instant response, with no
addition to the error log. However, since I tried each message one at a time this
morning, there hadn't been an error logged since. At least here it's only new
subscriber confirmations that seem to break things.

I subscribed one of my addresses to a list that requires the confirmation, received
the confirmation request, replied to it, and was welcomed - so I guess the thing is
currently working.

Now I'm counting on you to release this patch so that the 2.0.13 to 2.0.14 patch
will work on my machine, or perhaps document some way I can remove this patch
before installing the real patch to 2.0.13 when the time comes.
