    Bug: inconsistent error reporting for invalid mailing lists

    Whilst logged out of lists.a.o
    ----------------------------
    
    A) https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@def.apache.org
    
    "No emails found fitting this criteria"
    
    B) https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@incubator.apache.org
         https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@commons.apache.org
    
    Shows a popup "List not found!"
    
    then
    
    "No emails found fitting this criteria"
    
    Now login to lists.a.o
    ---------------------
    C) https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@def.apache.org
    
    "No emails found fitting this criteria"
    
    D) https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@incubator.apache.org
    
    No error message; redirects to:
    
    https://lists.apache.org/list.html?general@incubator.apache.org
    
    E) https://lists.apache.org/list.html?abc@commons.apache.org
    
    No error message; redirects to:
    
    https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@commons.apache.org
    
    ----------------------------------
    
    The correct behaviour is B): an error is reported and the URL is not changed.
    
    The behaviour for A)  and C) is misleading as it implies there may be mails.
    
    The behaviour for D) and E) is really confusing. It would be better if the code did not redirect at all.
    But at the very least it should display a pop-up error first.
