Hmmm...I'm not sure why that didn't work. You might try renaming the list
w/o spaces and then deleting it. Spaces are not good characters to use in
a UNIX environment.
} Also, I've figured out you can use "-" dashes in a List Name, but still no
} word on "_" underscores or spaces. Does anyone have any ideas?
I would think underscores would work. Spaces will never work, as you can
not have a space in an e.mail address. The name of the list is the first
part of the e.mail address; eg: Mailman-users is a listname, and the addey
is mailman-users at python.org.
An underscore is a legal character for e.mail addresses, so I'm not sure
why MM doesn't want to use them. FWIW, dashes are easier to type [one
doesn't have to use the <shift> key for a dash].
