[rt-users] Warning in the articles overview page

[Guadagnino Cristiano]

Alex,
thank you very much!! This is great news.

So the solution, presently, is to patch the 
/opt/rt4/share/html/Articles/Elements/MaybeNeedsSetup file by copying it 
to the "local" tree, right?
Do I understand it correctly that this is a bug in RT that will be fixed 
in future releases?
