[Mesa-users] Bad history list name

[Warrick Ball]

Great!  One final point (which I didn't notice with your first reply), 
please include the MESA Users mailing list in your replies so that people 
who have the same problem in the future can also find the solution in the 
archives.

Cheers,
Warrick
