What do you want to save? If you only want to save the archives,
running 'bin/rmlist <listname>' without the -a option will remove the
list but not the archives. The web rmlist also has the option to
remove or not remove the archives (see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.031.htp>).

If you want the archives to be accessible from the web, it's a good
idea to make sure they are set to 'public' before removing the list
since without the list, private archive access can only be
authenticated with the site password.

If you want to save more than the archives, the above FAQ link will
give some information.
