When using the "Remove List" command in WWSympa, the list does not really
get removed, but just "closed". It even still appears in the "Your Lists"
area of the Owner (but without any notice that it's closed).

Also, there is no "sympa.pl" option that allows to really and completely
"remove" a list.

From this the following questions arise:

a) What is the proper way to remove a list completely, with all its
directories, files, tasks, etc.:
- via WWSympa
- via sympa.pl
Is there any documentation on this? (could not find any)


b) Is there an easy and quick way to see the "Status" of all lists
- via WWSympa (e.g. of an owner)
- via OS command line


When removing lists from a XML file that instantiates several lists of a
family, then the situation is especially unpleasant, as sympa.pl on each
instantiation of the family asks again whether it should re-open or close
the deleted list(s). But a better option (or asking) might be:
Do you want the list "xyz" to be
opened again
left closed
removed completely
(o/c/r) ?


Thanks for any hints.
Markus
