Does "since 2.6.1" mean, including 2.6.1 or any release after 2.6.1,
because I didn't find any hint in my about box. Just the eMail address
for support.

Nevertheless a short note on the Mailman info site would make sense imho
too. Maybe with an explicit hint to read the archives first. I know,
that won't help much, but at least it allows to fingerpoint to that
direction.
