Did the old and new lists had exactly the same purpose?

If the old archives could be imported into those of the new list lilypond-fr, this would compensate half of the pain of renaming the list by creating a new one; this is not more complicated than copying a few mbox files and generating the archive manually using MHonArc, but I'm not sure if we can expect this from gnu.org lists admins. I just resent my two-years old request for upgrading MHonArc on lists.gnu.org to mail...@gnu.org but this time I also set webmast...@gnu.org as a recipient; if I get no reply within one month, I'll conclude than we cannot make any custom request to the administrators. For the other half, I thought that setting up an email alias would be simpler or cleaner than creating a new list, but it may not be so if email aliases are only exceptionally granted by gnu.org email server admins. Renaming the list would not remove the problem of moving the archives, anyway. Finally, I'm for renaming lilypond-user-fr into lilypond-fr anyway, but if it's not possible to move and/or copy old archives and generate HTML archives with correct encoding, we'll generate them ourselves :-/ Best, John
