Re: [Mailman-Users] Changing list name - any scripts or utilities?
Thanks!!! The perl script works! I am just learning perl and all of this stuff so I didn't have a clue how to do a script to change something in the files. You have now cut my job down from over 1 hour a list to about 10 minutes a list. Thank you! Heather From: Todd Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Changing list name - any scripts or utilities?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thanks!!! The perl script works! Cool. No problem. You have now cut my job down from over 1 hour a list to about 10 minutes a list. Excellent.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Changing list name - any scripts or utilities?
The only thing it doesn't seem to change is the more info on this list link I don't have any problems with google and such because everything is private and there are no links. Anyone have any ideas how to change the more info on this list link other than edited EVERY html archive file?
