+  Mailman versions on FreeBSD before (exclusively) 2.1.30 have not marked the
+  web templates as "sample" files, and would overwrite changes made locally or
+  through the web interface on updates.
+
+  BEFORE updating mailman from a version such as 2.1.29_* or older, please
+  backup /usr/local/mailman/templates/ before the upgrade, and after installing
+  mailman 2.1.30 or a newer 2.1.x, restore from backup, overwriting the
+  existing newly installed templates/LANG/... files with those from your
+  backup, and then diff them against the respective *.sample files.  The *.txt
+  and *.html files are yours, and *.sample are the distributed ones.
+
+  Once you have upgraded to 2.1.30, the port or package will take care to only
+  replace files that were unaltered from the shipped version.
