You probably realize it by now, but it bears repeating: any "configuration variable"
should first be searched for in mm_cfg.py, and then, if not present, in Defaults.py;
if it needs to change from its default value, put the value in mm_cfg.py; don't
ever edit Defaults.py. (Well, hardly ever, as G&S would say.)
Defaults is read, and then mm_cfg, and the new settings in mm_cfg are the "final"
settings. Defaults is intended to be "Mailman version defaults", and mm_cfg
is "site defaults". Other role splits are possible, of course, but the lesson
is that mm_cfg holds sway, so be sure to look and edit there in all but the most
exceptional cases.
