Another option is to do what Bill just suggested, but instead of deleting
the old list, delete the old list's subscribers and then code the old
list's header so that it includes the "New-list" keyword to say something
like:

* New-List= new-list's address

This way, email to the old list's email address will automatically be
diverted to the new list's email address. This method will ease some
confusion on the part of existing subscribers and prospective subscribers.

Be sure to delete the old list's subscribers BEFORE adding the New-List
keyword though. This is covered in L-Soft's documentation in clear detail.
