[Mailman-Users] Does Mailman require Java? Java is a tremendous problem elsewhere.

[mavs at panix.com]

For managers and list users alike please tell me that Java is
not included in Mailman.

It causes such a big problem with WAIS and other database
queries and with the ability to save links.

Can I manage Mailman from my shell account through
Envirolink via my shell account at Panix.com.

Envirolink,s ftp access REQUIRES Java which I do not have
and don't want to use because it has a public firewall
component.

Java, like password accounts at some sites, limit use.

I guess they believe that most people have java and do not
want to give the other 5 percent a historical option.
