| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
MailMan patch XM*7.1*67 adds a new key, 'XM NO BROADCASTS',
This IRA was initiated because users with accounts in multiple sites were
seeing the same broadcast message everywhere they logged on. These users
wanted a way to avoid broadcast messages.
When and if you assign this key to a user, you should advise them that
they will not see any broadcast messages at all.
This patch also deletes two keys which are not used by MailMan:
XMPRIORITY and XMPRIORITY-OVERRIDE
in response to an Initial Requirements Analysis (IRA):
Note: This patch may be installed at any time.
