Hello,

here's a nice picture. The answer is in the mail

More seriously (or, maybe, less), I've spent a few minutes trying to figure
out a problem a user was having (on irc). The problem was that she had
configured the list to be in Spanish, but it kept sending welcome messages
in English.
I finally traced it to the Debian installation, which has weird symlinks:
        /var/lib/mailman/templates -> /etc/mailman

ls -al /etc/mailman/
total 36
drwxr-xr-x  4 root list 4096 2006-04-22 19:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 95 root root 8192 2006-06-21 10:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2005-10-04 18:17 en
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2006-02-10 17:46 fr

that's 2 languages only!
whereas /usr/share/mailman/ contains all the templates (including es/, which
she linked into /etc/mailman/ and solved the problem)

For me, if this is confirmed and not a weird thing on my and her Debian
installation, it's a problem that should be solved.
