Observation... This (output of subscriber lists) is requested so frequently I wonder if in a future version the Mailman interface could be set up to generate this list for list administrators; I know the Mailman paradigm is concentrated on Web access, but most of us working with other lists really, really miss that "review" feature. It's a) Armageddon backup (something terrible happens to the host, but you still have your most valuable information--the list of subscribers), and b) a fairly efficient workaround for a feature not implemented in 2.0 (searchable member archives). The only catch is that it is predicated on access to <mailmaninstalldir>.
(I put in a separate request to the host of our lists asking if they would create a script we could run from our own Web interface.) ---------------------------------------------- Karen G.
