Sorry. My bad. An update months ago seems to have fizzled something in the
mailman setup. I'll see if I can get it fixed.

Laptop note: Acer Aspire One (little tiny thing available with Linpus
preinstalled) is pretty cool. Bundled with Vonage service for a year, the
laptop cost $99. I was able to blow away the Linpus install (based on Fedora
8) and put on Fedora 10. Running XFCE it's light and very useably speedy.
Daughter is getting it to carry at school for a major semester of writing.
