many thanks for your reply. When I create a mailing list without an archive,
You cannot do that in Postorius. All of the "style" options provide for an archive. "Ordinary discussion" and "announce" have public archives, and the last option is "discussion with private archives". How are you doing this?
"Settings > Archiving > Archive policy" is always set to "Public archives". I was wondering if it's possible to change the default to "Do not archive this list" instead.
The choices for setting are defined at line 386 (or so) of postorius/forms/list_forms.py:
archive_policy_choices = (
('public', _('Public archives')),
('private', _('Private archives')),
('never', _('Do not archive this list')),
)This is implemented as a line of radio buttons. There is no default for a *new* list, it's implied by the style choice. For an existing list you are shown the current setting -- there's no default to change to, you have to click on a button. If by "default" you mean "first in the list", you can patch the form in Postorius, but we're not going to change the order, since our primary audience is public discussion lists.
In theory we could provide a mechanism to configure the order, but I think that's very unlikely to happen -- Mailman isn't and doesn't want to be Emacs.
