Hi Mailman developers,
just noticed that the minimal instructions for list server administrators to mass manipulate mailinglists directly have been vanished from the mailman README file in the jump to version 2. (last cvs revision containg the advice is README rev1.45)
As I considered it quite useful my suggestion is to add it again to the mailman documentation.
Or is it not possible or advisable to do
this kind of list surgery anymore?
Regards,
Bernhard

Bernard,
In Mailman 2.0, the bin/withlist script is provided as a better framework for doing these kinds of manipulations.

Good to know! It should be mentioned in the same place in the README file. (or did I read over it? :>)
I found out that the old method also works. Why remove the description for low level hacking, if it is still valid?
Thanks, Bernhard
