[Biopython-dev] URLs pointing email archives not working

[Peter Cock]

Hi again Martin, Markus,

I've filed the broken mailing list archive links on biopython.org
as an issue on the new website repository:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/49

My earlier replies were from a phone and a little short. I meant
that http://lists.open-bio.org/ and http://mailman.open-bio.org/
were not very helpful, just a minimal index.html page.

I've just replaced the index.html with a simple redirect to e.g.
http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo

Regards,

Peter
