Thanks a lot, I wondered about that (-: I have suggestion about the addition,
if I might: Currently it reads:

  Note that this template is not a service messages, therefore it is not
  located in a mail_tt2/ subdirectory.

Perhaps one could add a notice saying where list_aliases.tt2 should reside,
to something along the lines of:

  Note that this template is not a service message, therefore it is not
  located in a mail_tt2/ subdirectory. Sympa will look for list_aliases.tt2
  in /home/sympa/<robot>/ and /home/sympa/etc/, in that order.

Good idea, really. It eliminates the potential delayed if the file is
exported with cron every now and then.

Too bad that it requires a rebuild of the package. I try to use maintained
packages (for example from Debian) whenever it's feasable. It makes upgrades
and security updates a whole lot easier and far less time consuming. It'd be
great if this was configurable from sympa.conf.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
