Adam and Bill,

I've gone to their site http://listes.cru.fr/wws and logged in successfully,
but postings to address@concealed, or to the list administrator,
address@concealed, or to the owner address@concealed,
don't seem to be getting through. Also I haven't seen any postings
since October 18. Are either or both of you subscribed
to address@concealed? If so are you getting postings? If so, could
one of you try posting the following to see if you get through?

If I use the web interface to our Sympa list server, login,
Click on "Your Subscriptions," then click on one of the groups
I'm subscribed to, then click on Archives, and enter
something in the Search field, I see two different behaviors
depending on whether I then click on Search, or press the
Enter key:

1) If I click on Search, I get a page with links to all
the correspondence having what I searched for in the title.

2) If I press Enter instead, I next see our Sympa Home page.

I built a simplified HTML document to try to reproduce
the behavior -

<HTML> <HEAD>
<BASE
HREF="http://host.kcc.com/~sympa/wwsympa.cgi/arc/pci-general/2000-10/";>
<TITLE> address@concealed </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/smitty/cgi-bin/bug.cgi">
<INPUT NAME=list TYPE=hidden VALUE="pci-general">
<INPUT NAME=archive_name TYPE=hidden VALUE="2000-10">
<INPUT NAME=how TYPE=hidden VALUE="phrase">
<INPUT NAME=age TYPE=hidden VALUE="new">
<INPUT NAME=case TYPE=hidden VALUE="off">
<INPUT NAME=match TYPE=hidden VALUE="partial">
<INPUT NAME=limit TYPE=hidden VALUE="10">
<INPUT NAME=body TYPE=hidden Value="True">
<INPUT NAME=key_word TYPE=text SIZE=17>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="action_arcsearch" VALUE="Search">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

and a simple CGI script to see what the difference in arguments might be -

#!/usr/bin/perl
# bug.cgi
print<<END;
Content-type: text/html

<html> <head> <title> bug.cgi </title> </head> <body> <pre>
This is a test.<p>
END
while($line=shift) {
$line =~ s/&/&/g; $line =~ s/</</g; $line =~ s/>/>/g;
print("arg='$line'\n");
}
while($line=<>) {
$line =~ s/&/&/g; $line =~ s/</</g; $line =~ s/>/>/g;
print("stdin='$line'\n");
}
print<<END;
</pre> </body> </html>
END

But for my simplified document and cgi script, the result is identical
regardless of whether I click on Submit and press Enter:

Clicked on Search:
This is a test.
stdin='list=pci-general&archive_name=2000-10&how=phrase&age=new&case=off&mat
ch=partial&limit=10&body=True&key_word=&action_arcsearch=Search'

Pressed Enter:
This is a test.
stdin='list=pci-general&archive_name=2000-10&how=phrase&age=new&case=off&mat
ch=partial&limit=10&body=True&key_word=&action_arcsearch=Search'
