[Mailman-Users] Trouble with newlist

[Steve Pirk]

I am using Slackware 9.1 (fresh install) Here is the
version on python:
Python 2.3.1 (#1, Sep 24 2003, 16:45:45)

Maybe I will do a fresh install of the latest version.
Could be that the included one is fubar'd. It is the
latest stable version of MM. I used to run an older
version, but it was lost in the disk crash. :-)
