As a windows user, I'm confused bc comment 0 suggests the presence of a Mailing List *window* on MAC, whereas comment 69 denies the same. James, can you "add an attachment" to this bug, with a screenshot showing the current design of Mailing List Properties dialog on MAC? Does the window/non-window design of MAC play any role for this bug (I think not)? B) Do we have a bug for comment 68 (which is clearly different from this bug, but perhaps it is blocking bug 135126)?
