        Thanks, Bill.  I've now written to the listowner, and I'm
hoping that she will be similarly reasonable.

        Actually, Liszt apparently makes heavy use of the LISTS command.
Since TAMVM1 is running 1.8b, the LISTS command works, whereas UMDD is
running 1.8c, which I gather disabled the LISTS command to thwart
spammers.  Thus, Liszt was able to find the TAMVM1 lists but not those
at UMDD.  Sigh.

        Again, many thanks.
