Description

The following URL:

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?*@ponymail.apache.org

causes a "List not found" pop-up to be shown. That does not really make sense.
The message should be suppressed for wild-card matches.

It shows messages from all available lists, but fails to display the list name.

Furthermore, the search box shows "This list"
It might make more sense to show "All ponymail.a.o" lists.

Research direction

Start with list.html and reproduce the behavior using https://lists.apache.org/list.html?*@ponymail.apache.org. Trace the wildcard-match handling and the UI text for the list name and search box. Done means the popup is suppressed, the results identify the wildcard list group, and the search box says “All ponymail.a.o” lists.
