As I tried to indicate (implicitly, at least) in my reply at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-November/059067.html>,
the 'empty archive' web page is a static web page built at list
creation time based on "emptyarchive.html" and other things like the
value of web_page_url (which in turn depends on DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN)
at list creation time.

You can change the "emptyarchive.html" template and/or the list's
web_page_url attribute subsequent to creating the list, but these
things will not cause the list's 'empty archive' web page to be
rebuilt.
