It is one thing to kill off the old list, but how about getting the new 
list to work?

I am subscribed to the new list, and have been for a while, but the 
message below, appears to have been eaten by the new list, as I have not 
received a copy that shows the message to have been distributed by the 
new list, even though I have been receiving messages distributed by the 
new list, both before and after the sending of the message below.
