My script is just a front end to config_list so you can to something like

/path/to/set_attributes volume=25 next_digest_number=1 LISTNAME

instead of putting lines like

volume=25
next_digest_number=1

in a file and running

bin/config_list -i /path/to/file LISTNAME

As far as what you can use for variables and what they currently are, 
you could do

bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck

to see what's there, most of which is viewable, settable via the web 
admin interface. In order to understand what the meaning of any list 
attribute is, if it's in the web admin UI, it's described there, 
otherwise, you have to look at code. E.g.,

grep -r next_digest_number /path/to/mailman/

to find the modules that reference it, and then look at those modules.

The next time the page is updated by Mailman which I think will happen 
with the next post to the list, or if not, with the next post in a new 
period (month), Mailman will correct those links.  In the mean time, you 
can edit archives/private/LISTNAME/index.html and just remove the '.gz' 
from the hrefs.
