In general, I don't want to add lots of hacks for buggy mailers or
readers. That path leads to insanity. ;)

Don't worry if it's already been reported. The alphas are changing
every day (almost) so I don't expect anybody to totally keep up with
it. A little duplication at this point can't hurt. Once we're in
beta though, the pace of changes should slow down so at that point SF
bug tracker is probably more appropriate.

Don't be so sure! Both Emacs and XEmacs runs on Windows, AFAIK.

What do people think about the Translation Project that Martin pointed
to in a different thread? I'd be happy to go through the hoops to
register Mailman and run the translation project through them, but I'd
like to have buy-in from all the current translators. I don't want
Translation Project folks stepping on the toes of you guys.
