fluke: mailinglist shows as a newsgroup

I wanted to rename the folder containing one of my mailinglists (the 
Iyonix one, as it happens).

The usual menu option "Rename ..." is greyed out because this "group" 
is a mailinglist.

So I created a new folder with the new name.  Then went to the 
"Configure > Mailinglist" dialogue, selected the Iyonix entry, chose 
Edit, and for Folder selected my new one from the dropdown list.  The 
new folder is now a mailinglist.
   (I will need to make the relevant adjustment in "Configure > 
Filtering rules".)

So far so good.

The old mailinglist folder I would have expected* to become an 
ordinary folder.  But, strangely, it appears in my "Main groups" list 
now among NEWSGROUPs, with the newsgroup icon (and with "Rename" still 
greyed).

I can't work out why it has become a newsgroup.  How do I turn it back 
into an ordinary folder?

I imagine this status is stored in an internal file somewhere that I 
could tweak manually, but I have no idea where.

Anybody come across this fluke before?


( * I tried this procedure again just now on another mailinglist, and 
it DID become an ordinary folder as I would have expected with the 
Iyonix one.)
