I thought for sure it would since you're right about IE -- I was trying to admin the list using IE on a user's windows box. After posting I went to a linux box and tried it with Netscape, whaddya know, worked perfectly. Lynx works too. It's because IE4.x+ apparently sends cookies without double quotes (in violation of RFC 2109). Here are the postings I found about it: http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/1999-July/001195.html http://www.python.org/mailman-bugs/resolved?id=80;expression=mailman;user=gu est That last one has a patch so I'll try it. Thanks alot for your suggestion, it put me on the right track. I know alot of people say this but it's true -- I've never seen support for any distro that even comes CLOSE to what I've seen here for debian. Appreciatively, -Mark
