Shoot, did I say that? They're actually mostly right, at least. Umbrella lists are a corner case here, but that's where I've found problems (and only then because I was trying to implement some list-related features in an MUA). > > Right now, there aren't even any controls for this on > > umbrella lists, which is about the only place that you'd need to edit > > them. > > Umbrella lists have always confused me, so it wouldn't surprise > me if the List- headers are wrong there.

Umbrella lists are terribly hard to describe, but a not very tough once you look at how they're set up in practice.
