You can change post_id (not post-id). It won't break anything. Two ways to set post_id are bin/withlist and bin/config_list. With either method, you need to set post_id to a floating point value. E.g., if you want to set it to 237, you need to set it to 237.0. This can be done by putting the single line mlist.post_id = 237.0 in a file and running bin/config_list -i /path/to/file listname You can also set post_id in an interactive withlist session. E.g., for a list named test $ bin/withlist -l test Loading list test (locked) The variable `m' is the test MailList instance >>> m.post_id 0.0 >>> m.post_id = 237.0 >>> m.post_id 237.0 >>> m.Save() >>> Unlocking (but not saving) list: test Finalizing $ The last input following the m.Save() input is a control-D (end of file). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
