Hi all,
if the additional year column is all of an issue here, I could figure out two
approaches:
- we revert back to when there was no year column. The downside being, you won't
have that valuable piece of information in the list anymore.
- we move the additional column someplace else, e.g. to the end of the lines;
this could still cause trouble with import scripts that scan to the end of each
line but would work fine with those that just read in the required (and known)
fields and ignore the rest of each line.
Unfortunately I can't seem to remember when or why we introduced the new field.
Scanning my email archive didn't help much either.
There is, however, still the trusty old
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlistraw2.cgi?m=1955 which appears to do what you
are looking for.
(Essentially, that one is still unchanged from when we took over LUGNET in June,
2006, so for whoever it ran well before that day, it should still do...)
Hope I could help. Tell me if there's anything else I can do.
Have fun,
Jerry
