And, as we know, since no program is finished until the programmer dies, I have added an additional option to copy the archives as well. I also added more to the help description to indicate the script needs to be installed in Mailman's bin/ directory and that there are still issues in copied archives due to links still pointing to the old list. I considered adding a --remove option to remove the old list after cloning to make it a 'rename' process, but decided against that both because of the archive issues in the new list and because one can always easily remove the old list with bin/rmlist anyway. I also added reference to this script to the FAQ at <https://wiki.mailman.psf.io/DOC/4.70%20How%20do%20I%20change%20the%20name%20of%20%28rename%29%20a%20list%3F> -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
