The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dale Ghent <address@concealed>]

After a long break to work on other projects, I'm back to finishing  
up my ListProc to Sympa conversion script.

One of the things I'd like to do is preserve certain attributes  
regarding a user's list subscription such as whether they have  
digests mode on, are not receiving emails and whatnot. Rather than  
doing straight inserts into the MySQL database, I'd like to use the -- 
import option in sympa.pl, but after looking at the docs, there  
doesn't appear to be a way to specify more than the email and gecos.  
Is there a hidden feature I could take advantage of to do this?

Ultimately, I'd like to parse the subscribers file in ListProc,  
convert the applicable values, and generate a file of attributes that  
Sympa could parse to generate the user's subscription under Sympa. I  
have steps 1 and 2 done. I just need to find out how I should handle  
step 3.
