Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

I did not understand, from reading your previous email, that you needed 
to customize thoses List-XXX header fields. Honsetly I don't think 
that's a feature we will introduce in Sympa distribution. If a List-ID 
parameter is required, that's another story...

But we can still help you patch your Sympa :
You should add some traces to find out if your parameters were 
successfully loaded from the config file. it might rather be a problem 
with the form construction in the web interface.

Chris, if this talk goes on, maybe it would be more appropriate off-list...
