Hi,

Somehow, newlist managed to create a list with a leading space in its name -- I am not exactly sure how this happened. As I tried to access said list via the web interface, a few things went awry which may have led to a large chunk of my Mailman files and directories getting erased.

Unfortunately, I do not have the exact steps which led to the demolition. I just restored my Mailman hierarchy from backups.

However, it would be nice if Mailman:

1. Checked for spaces in list names and made sure no such lists were ever created

and/or

2. Properly translated spaces within URLs to %20

Thanks, igor
