exporting real name list
I have a mailing list where real names are quite important. I need to be able to output the entire list of member addresses alongside their real names. I imagined list_members would have a flag to do this now that real names are stored somewhere, but I can't see a way to do it. The web interface does not seem to provide any way to see the entire membership at once or I could probably parse it out of the HTML (though that would seem to be needlessly laborious.) Am I missing something simple?
Mailman is on debian stable, but running version 2.1.4-1.backports.org.1 from backports.org. Thanks much for any assistance.

$ list_members -h | grep -i names --fullnames / -f Include the full names in the output.

In addition to the who command that Lloyd noted, you can also get the full membership list via the web interface on the listinfo page. I really don't know why this isn't also linked in the admin GUI, but it's not.

Hopefully you just overlooked the -f option and it does what you want.

Heh, yes, that's exactly what I had expected to find. I made the classic rookie error of expecting the man page to be up to date. The version installed on my system includes only these options in man list_member:
OPTIONS -o file, --output file Write output to specified file instead of standard out.
-r, --regular
Print just the regular (non-digest) members.
-d, --digest
Print just the digest members.
-p, --preserve
Output member addresses case preserved the way they were added
to the list. Otherwise, addresses are printed in all lowercase.
-h, --help
Print a small help text and exit
Thanks for the reminder that documentation usually trails embedded help by some substantial delta.

Ahh, yep, I know that trick well.

The man page installed is added by the Debian packager and isn't part of the standard Mailman distribution. Perhaps you could let the Debian Mailman packager know so they can update the manpage making it more accurate and less apt to catch someone else. You'll get karma points for it I imagine.
