Hi Serge,

Thanks for your reply. If have no problems whatsoever changing the 
language of a page. Switching the language from English to German 
modifies the database field 'data_session' in 'session_table' from
;auth="ldap";lang="en_US";data="" to
;auth="ldap";lang="de_DE";data=""
Changing the pagesize, however, does not change anything but 
'id_session' in the session table. The only log entry corresponding to a 
page size change is:
Oct  7 13:14:36 athene wwsympa[23506]: [robot wzb.eu] [client 
193.174.6.50] [user address@concealed] [list nawi] main::do_review() 
do_review(0)

It should be noted that we've had sympa for quite a while (updated a 
couple of times), and it never worked, as far as I recall.

Best, Peter
