No. >B. Is there any plan to organize this mess into something more logical? We recognize the problem and have some ideas that reach this area (see <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+2.2>), but no guarantees. >In particular, I'm trying to find out if there's a lower case version of the >list name available in archtocnombox.html and archtoc.html (where %(listname)s >is the "pretty" name selected by the list administrator), and what other >substitution tokens are available in the context of these two templates. In general, the %(key_word)s substitutions are specific to any given template that uses them and the only ones defined for a specific template are the ones that appear in the default template. It's pretty easy to patch the code to pass additional key_word:value items to substitute in the template, but it does require patching the code.
