[Mailman-Users] catastrophic error

Hi folks...

Something you should be aware of...

When using rmlist to delete a list containing a LEADING whitespace 
character, and using the -a option, the entire archives directory is 
deleted.
Do that just ahead of the cron job which handles the regular 
maintenance, and you lose the list archives, the list lists, and of 
course the userbases for all of them...
Bummer.

Mailman v2.0.8
command: ./rmlist " badlist-l"

(The quotes are to enclose the whitespace so the script can find the 
list in the first place.)
