[Mailman-Developers] woo hoo!

personalization works! Even better, it let me nail a bounce that was 
being forwarded through bigfoot to a place that was stripping all 
headers.

User `babsym98_thequeen@bigfoot.com' removed from list: ahl.

the bounce was coming back from:

Your message

   Subject: sorry, a quick test.

You figure it out. Crap like this is why VERP was invented...

great stuff!

barry, this bug is still here, though:

Oct 14 19:51:33 2002 (6126) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: 
ahl-request@plaidworks.com

What's happening, Barry, is one part of Mailman is creating a message 
to let the admin know this guy was removed from the list, and then 
another part of Mailman is seeing the Precedence: Bulk header, and 
deleting it. so it's a message created and deleted within mailman 
without ever leaving the system, and the admin doesn't get notified. 
The message to the user confirming the unsubscription does work, since 
I see the bounce come back in later...
