A check shows Barry's comments were about two months
back, and the instructions were exhaustive, but they
worked.
Thanks to Marc and Barry for the pointer and the
instructions.
Barry asked that $100,000 in pennies be sent to him and
the Mailman developers if we want to see the process
automated and simplified. That's a bit past my budget
limits, but I think some people would think it was worth
it. My advice is, "name your lists the way you want them
the first time!"
