[Mailman-Users] Incorrect link on empty archive page

[Mark Dale]

Yes, the "%(listname)s" bit is fine when there is something in the 
archive. It's weird that it gets malformed (i.e the missing slash) when 
the archive is empty.

I tried some edits on "emptyarchive.html" file and restarted Mailman, 
but these edits didn't show up - so does that mean the empty arhive page 
is coming from somewhere other than "emptyarchive.html"?

cheers
