Re: [OSS] Re: List Info - posting technicalities

I had a look on quite a number of packages at that time, including Mailman,
and decided for Mojo. It /might/ be, that Mailman is meanwhile better at
the job, but I can't switch permanently SW, just because another one is
better right now.

I will send some more reasons to you directly - and anybody who is
interested, but don't want to spam the list with that.
