I've made a small patch to HTMLFormatter.py to provide for a

'<mm-lc-list-name>' : self.real_name.lower(),I don't really care if it is called mm-lc-list-name or mm-canonical- list-name or what not, I simply find the regularized name useful for some

In general I think this is a good idea.
But I have two and a half questions:
- What is the impact on existing lists which might have case
sensitive names? Would a converter script be necessary? - What does it mean for MTA configurations? (I'm thinking exim)
AFAIK, the local-part (i.e. listname) of an email address is case
sensitive, though the domain-part is not.
