+<h3>Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager</h3>
+
+Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and
+e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it
+easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to
+administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving,
+automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam
+filters, and more. See the <a href="features.html">features page</a>
+for details.
+
+<p>Mailman is free software, distributed under the
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
+License</a>. Mailman is written in the
+<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>
+programming language, with a little bit of C code for security.
+
+<p>The name of this software is spelled <em>Mailman</em>
+with a capital leading <em>M</em> and a lowercase second <em>m</em>.
+It is incorrect to spell it "MailMan" (i.e. you should not use
+StudlyCaps).
+<!-- Mailman is gender neutral, low carb, kid safe, drug
+free, high octane, slightly lemony flavored... and easier to remember
+than <a href="http://www.eve-golden.com/images/FloobsOPT--OK.jpg">Floob
+Boober Bab Boober Bubs</a>. -->
+
+<h3>Current Version</h3>
+
+<p>Version
+<!-VERSION--->2.1<!-VERSION--->,
+(released on
+<!-DATE--->30-Dec-2002<!-DATE--->)
+is the current released version of Mailman, in production at many
+sites.
