I had this same problem a few days ago. I'll forward the patch to the
original author.

But that brings up a question, what's the easiest way to search the list
archives? They're all on the web page, but without any sort of indexing or
search engine and with them broken up into very large monthly archives
(that transfer very slowly from GreatCircle, I might add), it
is slow and tedious at best to find the info you're looking for.
