Update... It appears this is a known bug. Well, it was known to somebody
anyway. ;-)
[ 940106 ] Characters incorrectly replaced with HTML entities
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?funcÞtail&aid”0106&group_id3&atid0103Looks like my only options are to go back to 2.0.5 or something else
prior to 2.1.1 (which I really don't want to do) or stop using HTML in
the list info field (which is annoying because I can't provide links to
relevant information on the list info page).
Does anyone know when this bug might be fixed? I'm not a Python
programmer but in Perl changing the code to stop converting two
characters to HTML entities would be a matter of changing a regex. I
take it such a simple solution isn't available in this case for some
reason?

I'm in the process of moving a number of mailing lists from a server
running Mailman 2.0.5 to 2.1.1 and have run into a minor problem. Any
HTML entered in the list info field such as anchor tags does not display
correctly on 2.1.1. Instead of showing up as HTML, the pointy brackets
are escaped as < and > and visible as raw HTML markup on the web
page. In otherwords, where we used to see an clickable link on the 2.0.5
list info page, on 2.1.1, we see the raw HTML: <a
href="blah.com">link</a>
I've looked in the FAQ and searched Google but didn't find any fix
(though I did run across other folks experiencing the problem). Any
ideas?
