Hello.

Either that or do it by the order of the mailing list directives to work
out the association between the 'mailing-list:' and
'mailing-list-web-site:'. Blank directives could then be used to ensure
the correct order, e.g.

mailing-list: foo AT bar DOT org
mailing-list-web-site: http://www.bar.org/foo/
mailing-list-ftp-site: ftp://ftp.bar.org/foo/
mailing-list: foo-bugs AT bar DOT org
mailing-list-web-site: http://www.bar.org/foo/bugs/
mailing-list-ftp-site:
mailing-list: foo-dev AT bar DOT org
mailing-list-web-site: http://www.bar.org/foo/dev/
mailing-list-ftp-site: ftp://ftp.bar.org/foo/dev/

I think that support for multiple mailing lists isn't really that
important. If you want to subscribe to one of the "child" mailing lists
then you probably already know how to do this. It could be added later.
