This possibility was removed about 3 years ago, just before the list was
moved from Spoons, because spammers were able to get the list of names
automatically and bombard subscribers. It may still be necessary. Possibly
though the moderator could get the list and post it as an ordinary e-mail
message to the list.
It is a pity because it reduces the collective spirit of a list.
