Hello!

Update to version 2.1 was successful. After making all the changes 
mentioned in ${PREFIX}/share/mailman/ Mailman is running fine. But one 
thing is missing. To convert text/html into plain text an installation of 
lynx is needed. In ${PREFIX}/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py you can find the 
following:

     # Command that is used to convert text/html parts into plain text.  This
     # should output results to standard output.  %(filename)s will contain the
     # name of the temporary file that the program should operate on.
     HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND = '/usr/bin/lynx -dump %(filename)s'

But lynx isn't installed at my systems and it wasn't installed by the 
Mailman-Port, too. Not at /usr/bin/ neither anywhere else. Shouldn't the 
port do this? Or is it recommend to manually install lynx?


Regards

Jan
