I wanted to change the article.html template and do some CSS in it, but I
found mailman -silently- failed to parse the template files.

I've submitted the attached patch to at least log the fact the template
parsing failed.

Next, I could not seem to isolate the "bug", but my CSS had the following
entries:

        div#main {
        margin-right: 20%;
        }
        div#menu {
        width: 15%;
        float: right;
        }

The html template parser was failing on the 20% and the 15%, looking like it
was keying off the '%' for key=value in the SafeDict class and failing.

I "solved" the problem by making the CSS an external html reference, but I
thought I'd post this info to the developer list as a FYI.
