One of our Mailman users wanted to get a list of the lists he was subscribed to. He read "somewhere on the internet" that this was available by posting GETMYLISTS to Mailman.
I can't find this documented anywhere, but I did find this page which mentions a 'which' command that does the same thing.
http://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/help/mailman/commands.htm
That page's header says "Mailman - Listserv Distribution Lists", which confused me momentarily, but they do seem to be using Mailman (2.0.8).
Is this functionality available via a plugin? (Do plugins for Mailman exist?)
I know it can be done with find_member, but I'm interested in whether this is available for regular list members to do.
Thanks

Never heard of this.

I can't get this page. www.mcmaster.ca appears to not be in DNS. I can't even access the name servers listed for the mcmaster.ca domain by IP.
This function exists in Mailman only in the following way:
The user visits her options page for one list at e.g., http://www.example.com/mailman/options/mylist1/user@example.net and clicks the "List my other subscriptions" button. This will show all the lists in the www.example.com domain of which user@example.net is a member.
There is no email request to do this.
There is an email 'lists' command (sent to the listname-request address), but it lists all public lists, not the lists of which the user is a member.
