Can you carryout the upgradeing soon!
Not sure of this... but i think upgrade won't fix this particular issue. bin/cleanarch in mailman source dir could be causing this.
From cleanarch:
20 """Clean up an .mbox archive file. 21 22 The archiver looks for Unix-From lines separating messages in an mbox archive 23 file. For compatibility, it specifically looks for lines that start with 24 "From " -- i.e. the letters capital-F, lowercase-r, o, m, space, ignoring 25 everything else on the line. 26 27 Normally, any lines that start "From " in the body of a message should be 28 escaped such that a > character is actually the first on a line. It is 29 possible though that body lines are not actually escaped. This script 30 attempts to fix these by doing a stricter test of the Unix-From lines. Any 31 lines that start "From " but do not pass this stricter test are escaped with a 32 > character.
Diff of cleanarch in 2.1.9 and 2.1.11 show no change.
Probably list admins on mailman mailinglists would have to report this and/or fix this(cleanarch) and send a patch. I have no clue about python by cleanarch logic looks unconvincing.
mostly this is all fairytale :-)

Why are we still on mailman version 2.1.9
So many complaints about archive. I think we should upgrade. Archives are a very important part of a mailing list.

Please upgrade. This seems to be fixed in higher versions(tested on 2.1.11.cp2 ). From gets escaped with ">" character in archives.
