Sure. But why bother? IMO a much more useful approach would be a simple way to clone a list in every way but the membership list and the name. In itself, that's an often requested feature. Here, the application would be to create a existing-list-specific test list. I use a test list all the time for this purpose, and I do some "highly creative" stuff with list-specific Handler pipelines, so it's a real test of the idea. I've yet to see a case where the test list behaves differently from the real thing. BTW, I think that MM developers is the wrong place for this discussion, as clearly there's a major difference of consciousness between me and Mark on the one hand and LuKreme on the other. That's not a situation where we can take a well-understood requirement to MMD and bang out a spec. If something needs to be done here, we need to get "real users'" opinions of what needs doing, I think. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
