Thanks Olivier, but I think I wasn't clear about what I'm trying to do. 
I'm not trying to configure whether the List-* headers are included, but 
what they are set to.

For example, for historical reasons I have lists that are archived 
externally to sympa, and for performance reasons (under powered server 
that is hit hard by wwsympa.fcgi) I want to keep it that way. So I need 
to override the default List-Archive header.

Similarly, from what I recall there are various bits of RFC2919 that 
suggest that deriving the List-Id from the name and host is not ideal. 
Firstly, the recommendation that the host 'list-id.domain' be used as 
the name space, and secondly the strong recommendation that a List-Id 
should not change even when the list's host and address changes.

So I was attempting to configure the *content* of individual List-* 
headers on a per list basis. I managed to get sympa to recognise a new 
set of variables, read values from a list config and apply them, using 
existing defaults if they're empty. I managed to get edit boxes to 
appear in wws to configure these parameters, and I managed to set them 
from wws.

BUT wws would not display the current values, and because the edit boxes 
always have values of "", unless the values are reentered each time wws 
is used they are removed.

So my question is, how do I get wwsympa to read in the values in the 
list's config files.
