Comment 4 for bug 266461

Originator: YES

Thanks for the hint to the UI discussion. I don't want to join a general
discussion, I'm just an mailing list administrator arguing for his end
users. As I'm not the server admin I can't provide much help in the
development. But as this message is seldom read and easyly overlooked by
developers I'm reporting it here.

This is simply not true. Try something like

for d in trasnslation_dir/*/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po ; do sed -i.old -e
's,"Receive digests?","Deliver messages as digests?",' $d ; done

on any machine where sed is GNU sed.

And make the same change in the program file.

If you are afraid of the yes/no issue, leave it as it is.

If I'd have installed mailman on one of my computers I'd send you a patch,
but I simply can't test it.
