Sorry - I *copied* it.

Thanks. All seems well, and later I found this mentioned in
ZMailman/docs/INSTALL.txt. (Nice, I unconsciously assumed a zope product
docs directory must be empty :).

I'll try it on my 2.6 server later. I found this prior thread on the same
issue: http://mail.iuveno-net.de/pipermail/zmailman/2002-February/000138.html .
I'll probably try adding ClassSecurityInfo declarations.

Meanwhile, I hacked up a "micro zmailman" - a couple of inefficient
external methods just good enough to allow me to build a simple UI for
people to change their delivery options (individual, digest, none).  I've
attached it, but a nice up-to-date full-featured zmailman will be better.

I have become a mailman fan by the way (I upgraded to mailman-cvs for
this).  A related project is to use mailman for zwiki mail delivery, and
this is working out well.  It was fun to see 2.1's topics support - they
correspond very closely to wiki pages in the latest wikimail setup.
