I posted your patch to the Mailman-i18n list in December. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-i18n/2007-December/001532.html>.
I am still hoping to get an updated translation in time for the 2.1.10
final release, but in case I don't, I'm applying the patch to the current
message catalog. The next beta/rc release of 2.1.10 will have it.

This bug was originally found in Mailman 2.1.9. This bug is still present
in Mailman 2.1.10b3. This patch works with version 2.1.10b3.
