Never mind. The use of the flags= argument in re.sub was introduced in
Mailman 2.1.22 and requires Python 2.7.

The exception will occur with Python older than 2.7.x when attempting to
archive a message with no valid Date: header and no valid
X-List-Received-Date: header.

I have updated the FAQs at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030629> and
<https://wiki.list.org/x/876> to note this requirement.

I have also attached a patch to Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py that will
allow it to work with older Python.
