Since MHonArc can be given mail from anywhere to archive, it has
no internal concept of a "list name".

What you can do is define a custom resource variable(s) via the
DEFINEVAR resource to represent the list name you want.
Here is an example of how to do it via the command-line:

  shell> mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=listname' ...

The command-line usage is handy if sharing a common resource file
among multiple list archives.

Resource file example:

  <DefineVar chop>
  LIST-NAME
  listname
  </DefineVar>

And then in a layout resource, you can use $LIST-NAME$ to represent
the list name.

You may also want to define another variable to represent the information
URL.

P.S.  The mharc archiving system,
<http://www.mhonarc.org/release/mharc/tar/>, does something like the
above for the archives it manages.
