Hi!

Mailman's command line tools are not consistent in how they handle the case of list names, as shown in this Debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/446257

This is a bit problematic as list_lists does report them in mixed case.

The attached patch should make all command line tools do a case-normalisation before processing.

    The attached patch - lower.patch.txt - fixes this issue and will be included in Mailman 2.1.10. It is somewhat different from the original patch but accomplishes the same result.

    Thanks! Any idea on about when to expect such a 2.1.10 release?

    2.1.10b1 will be released as soon as a few packaging glitches related to our move from Subversion to Bazaar are worked out. Should be later this week if not today.
