If it's truly non-optional in the sense that there's no default, and the scope is required, then maybe it's okay. It just doesn't look "normal" to me. > > mmclient set --key <name> --value <value> > >This seems unnecessarily verbose on the one hand, and to not actually >correspond to an actual use case, on the other: there's no scope >mentioned.

Also I would suggest allowing either List-ID or posting address as an argument to --list, e.g. --list=mailman-users.python.org would also be acceptable. Usually there will be no difference, but lists can be renamed and the List-ID will never change. Cheers, -Barry
