All lists seem to be setup this way.

The list info page uses a standard template template which uses special
tags <MM-Archive> and <MM-List-Name> (MM is short for mailman which is the
name of the software being used to create the archive).
I could hardwire the correct address but I'd prefer a more generic
solution.

It may be possible for the administrators to change the template so that
lists point directly to their own archives by default (I've CC'ed the
admins).

Please also file a bug report in bugzilla repeating this request and put
my address in the CC field.   If there is not a better solution available
I'll hardcode the address.
