See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tIA9>,
<http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9>.

There is a bug in Mailman versions older than 2.1.12 that caused
relative URLs to never be generated, but more likely, the issue is your
not having done the things in FAQs <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9> and
