The read succeeds but the resulting MailList instance won't have the
new attribute.  When the module tries to access that attribute, you'll
get an AttributeError.  This /could/ be worked around by using
something like:

    if getattr(mlist, 'my_new_attribute', 0):

instead of

    if mlist.my_new_attribute:

The getattr() approach doesn't raise an exception when given a default
value.
