Description Robert Scheck 2012-03-02 13:47:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
Because of the processing sequence in bin/newlist and Mailman/Cgi/create.py,
the initial archive index page for a new list is built with a link to the listinfo page with host name DEFAULT_URL_HOST (hostname(1)) instead of the
host name supplied to newlist with -u (urlhost).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mailman-2.1.12-17.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime, eg. "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist --urlhost=foo.bar mailman". The
result in the index.html is whatever hostname(1) returns, if no defaults are
changed in the configuration.

Actual results:
Initial 'emptyarchive' page contains hostname rather urlhost in listinfo page
link.

Expected results:
Initial 'emptyarchive' page contains urlhost listinfo page link if specified;
if not then DEFAULT_URL_HOST/hostname(1) content is used.
