mailmanctl restart after making the code change. The cache is in 
process memory and is freshly created on demand within each process 
each time the mailman daemons or scripts are started. You will also 
need to rebuild existing mail archives using bin/arch to get the 
revised templates to affect existing HTML archive pages.
