FYI, when you rename a list all of the links in the archives are now incorrect. May not seem like a big deal but it's confusing for a user that does a google search, an archived page comes up, they read the page then click the broken link for the list... Quoting schuetzen - RKBA! <[EMAIL PROT

Okay, so I am replying to my own message. I found the Administrivia filter, but it appears to be basically good for nothing. Does Python control these trigger terms that are caught in Administrivia? It seems that there should be a way to catch any combination words in the subject or body field. Wi
