Submitted-By: <email address hidden>
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:14:17 -0400 (EDT)
Version: 1.1
OS: linux (debian potato)

when i try to change the membership options via the webinterface i get the
following
output send back. i should state that i just recently installed the debian
distribution
on this machine and use the mailman package that came with it. i installed
the
whole
thing over a set of existing mailman lists that worked just fine so far.

thanx for helping and keep up the great work! maybe one day i'll be able to
contribute!

here comes the message i got:
