I prefer however to think in terms of the RFEs on this which ask for various things from simply exposing the parameter in the web interface to providing a radio button selection (e.g. 20, 50, 100, all) on the pages to paginating without regard for the alphabet.
How about chunk size and by-letter or whole-list (to apply the chunk)? I'm willing to bet that the admin of a 300 member list would like to display by letter, but set the chuck size huge so they see an entire letter on one page.
I like the latter idea which would allow, in the example of chunk size = 30, for a list of 31 to 60 members to be displayed in two pages rather than 20 or more. This can make it more difficult to find a particular member in a large list, but the 'Find member' function is probably better for this anyway.
That sounds good to me. In the case of small-ish lists, skimming 2 or 3 pages to find an email address is less likely to annoy than trying to remember which letter to start with.
