Hi there, we are trying to get to a state where we have two enterprise Firefox lists, one with private archives and one with public.

The original list has had private archives for years and has thousands of members. It's at https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise.

We intend to move the archive data for this list to a new list. That's set up at https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise-private.

The new list will be just used as a repository for the old, private list archives. 

After we are sure that's in place, and the archives for the main list at https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise have the old messages deleted, we'd like to make its archives public.

That way, any future discussion on https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise will be indexable by search engines, so people will be able to find those future posts. 

We are nearly to that state, but right now, the info page for the original list at https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise has a link to the new repository of older messages, at https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise-private/.

Before I switch to make the original list public, I'd like to make sure i'm not about to accidentally make all the old posts public.

Now the https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/ info page correctly points to https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/ for its archives.  But those old messages are still there.  I'm hoping you can help us delete them from https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/ , so that I can make this list public.

Think this was mis-filed, moving to I & O. Hope that's right
