I assume the monthly reminder emails have be canned for a reason.  They do
have the nice property of sending something to every subscribed address,
even those who are set NOMAIL.  I can do something from the command line
(list_members?  I use the command line so infrequently that I always have to
look), but many list admins don't have shell access to their lists.

I hope I didn't open a can of worms.  MM2 doesn't seem to have a
through-the-web way to gather all list members from the admin's web
interface.  Will MM3?  That would at least allow admins to assemble a list
for sending all-hands or canned messages manually.
