[Mailman-Users] List name not displaying in Mailmanarchives

[Carol Cronin]

Exactly-- umbrella lists, my apologies for not using the correct terminology
the first time.

For instance, I have two separate Mailman lists-- ListA and ListB.  ListB is
the only "member" subscribed to ListA.  If I send an email to ListA, it will
archive in both ListA and ListB.

(But, if I send an email to ListB only, it will not archive in ListA.)

For some lists, I have multiple other lists subscribed.  My problem is that
if I send an email to ListA, a member of both lists who only reads the
archives won't be able to tell if the email was sent to ListA or to ListB.

If I can't make the original headers available in the archives, is there a
way to display the "to" address?  I notice that both list names will show up
as they appear in "Prefix for subject line of list postings"...is there a
way to make that field exclusive for the email address I'm sending to?

Thanks very much for all your help!

-Carol
