Right. It's in lists/<listname>/config.pck along with the list
configuration.

I don't know what seems right to you, but the lists/ and archives/

messages in data/ and queued messages in process in qfiles/.

Simply restoring lists/<listname>/config.pck into a working instalation
should get a functional list except for archives.
