pdates to the shortest, I have now posted CGPSA 1.8.1. It has a single bug f=
ix, namely: version 1.8 blocked too many messages directed to the mailing li=
st module. It would not only block list submissions from unauthorized poster=
s, but also subscribe/unsubscribe requests. That=E2=80=99s been fixed, and t=
he new version is available in the same places as 1.8 was. I assume nobody i=
nstalled 1.8 in the 20 minutes since I posted the original message about it;=
 needless to say, don=E2=80=99t do that, use 1.8.1 instead.
