I keep local copies of all the lists connected with KIDLINK.
When I get bounces, this are a big help in figuring out what
address is bouncing.  Knowing the options was a big help--a
subscription set to nomail cannot be bouncing, an error returning
an index cannot come from a subscription set to digest.
 
Yes, I know I can get this information from the list server, but
it is much slower.  I'm considering writing a script that will
decode the option settings.  I'd really like to know the encoding
scheme.
