That page is having problems right now, so I couldn't read more on the 
problem, but is this due to the SSL bug in IE5 for Mac? In my experience, on 
certain servers using SSL, IE will only get the first request successfully 
(index.html for example) and all subsequent requests (images, stylesheets, 
etc) will fail. There's nothing Sympa can do about that.

If you Google, there is a way to configure Apache so https will work with 
IE5 Mac, but I opted not to do this on our servers. I figure if Microsoft 
doesn't support it and Apple doesn't distribute it, I don't need to go out 
of my way to make it work.

I didn't "switch" to Apple... my OS did.
