Right. You don't want to change the name, but the description of the list.

Why is it that hard? It is not the "identification" but rather the "description" of the list. The id is "vm-dev", right?

Best,

Eliot,

Oh dear, that is definitely not what I had in mind. I was hoping for
something more like "s/Squeak/Open Smalltalk/".

I'll take this over to the box-admins list and see if there is a practical
solution.

Levente, Tobias, box-admins:

Following discussion with the board today, I would like to change the identification
for the vm-dev mailing list to be "Open Smalltalk Virtual Machine Development Discussion"
("Open Smalltalk" rather than specifically "Squeak").

I cannot see a way to do this from the administrator's page for vm-dev (which I
control), so I suspect it may be something that can be done in the MailMail list
configurations. Can someone help, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Dave
