The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Patrick Rynhart <address@concealed>]

Great, thanks Steve.  I see similiar code in List.pm, so I will experiment 
tomorrow.

Ultimately, where are these 'globals' coming from ?  Are they from the 
parent sympa.pl process ?

It looks as though no significant overhead will be added as a result of 
doing this (as the structs/data are actually available the whole time).

Thanks again,

Patrick
