Hi,

...

But most of the times you know the exact address you want to unsubscribe or view/edit, so why not add a search box on top? Can't this already be done by using the list member's "options" page (using the user's address in combination with your list admin password)? you mean something like http://server/mailman/options/mailinglist/ricardo--at--rixhq.nu ? besides not being very convenient to do, i don't think it works w/o knowing

I even think that only a searchbox on the initial page should be enough, and only show the paged list of members when the user specifically asks for it... saves a bit of bandwidth / response time. any thoughts about this? I disagree. The list admin interface is cryptic enough as it is, IMO. Further obscuring the overview of list members wouldn't be nice. actually I suggested this because I think that would make the member options much more simple. Having a partial list of the members immediately is what makes it cryptic IMHO. My list has about 1700 members and navigating with the way it is not is not very convenient (even if you get used to it) and I can't imagine how it would be like for people with 10k lists :)
