Exactly! I wish that mailman permitted setting the List-Id explicitly so
it could survive relocations. Or used a GUID or some such. If it can, I'm
not seeing it (and no one but us nerds would care anyway). I mean, what's
the point of an identity if it keeps changing? That may be a rhetorical
question (so, no worries, Mitch, I truly appreciate what you're doing).

Okay, Bill. That's two L. Long quotes in a row. Better check your entropy
pool for leaks. Now all I can think about is reading a Heinlein book. Or
watching House.
