After I wrote the above, I looked at the code for quick_maketext() and saw 
where I could do this.  My PHP hack does the case-crunching OK for my purposes, 
but the stuff I'm putting together for Mailman/Namazu integration ought to be 
able to work without doing anything but modifying the templates.

I probably ought to file a feature request that any template which might need 
it should support a keyword which contains the results of a call to 
mlist.internal_name() - in particular archtoc.html and archtocnombox.html :-)
