        Thanks, Michael,

        We actually had the list "disappear" a few months ago, and
        following the instructions from Chris, we tried to delete
        and re-open.  When all I got was "no such user" ... I asked
        for help, but it seems this is not an easy one. 

        There is, as you may not recall, something about the
        mailman when we installed 5209r ... that was not
        standard. Perhaps the version of mailman 2.1.15
        I dimly remember something was done to preserve
        the original archives... 

        I would be willing to try to re-do a mailing list,      
        but, as noted,the GUI doesn't exactly say
        how.

        The same is true regarding "support" ... I must
        have missed it, but I cannot find any place to
        send a "ticket.'

        Thanks...
