I'm really sorry you guys feel that way. The complaints have been very minimal overall. If I wasn't so busy I can spend more time on it. My problem is that I don't want to go back to Hypermail either. It has serious issues with security and its attachment handling. So any other options/suggestions I'll take. Or if anyone has some ideas on how Brian can get the info he needs.
I found a patch that will add the date to the message lists. Problem is, this goes against my policies. I don't like to patch binary packages beyond the normal configuration files. This gets me into a quagmire when I have to update the packages during a security update.
It does seem very strange that mailman does not have the date built in. It does let you customize the templates, but leaves out the options for dates and post counts. The patch I found was from way back in 2003. They didn't even accept it back then. Makes me scratch my head when a good open source project like mailman does not accept obvious improvements.

Is it possible to get the timestamps back into the mailing list archive? It is useful e.g. for regression testing to see when patches were committed to cvs.
Yeah, it's actually a showstopper for me too and I asked the same thing. It's exactly why there was no WWN last and why there isn't likely to be one this week. I'm sure mailman has some great features, but for me the pipermail archives suck rocks.
