While that's also a bug in Mailman (I have a long-standing to-do item to fix that), there are also plenty of posts that simply aren't showing up in c.l.py. As I said, I'm pretty sure (based on what was happening with c.l.py.announce) that it's some kind of weird problem with the mail->news gateway with MIME posts. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "as long as we like the same operating system, things are cool." --piranha -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
