Thanks for that, Mark, but it seems a bit more complicated:

1.  First, I am using virtual hosts, and I would like my lists to be
domain-specific.  Thus I need VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW to be ON.  It turns out
that my mm_cfg.py file didn't contain that directive - (It must be ON by
default.)  I did add it to my mm_cfg.py and turned it OFF.  Of course, all
of my lists appeared, but I lost domain-specificity.

2.  Seemingly contrary to the FAQ explanation, I only have the "problem"
for -one- of my domains.  More specifically, with and without the www
prefix:

domain1.com/mailman/listinfo ---- WORKS
    www.domain1.com/mailman/listinfo ---- DOESN'T WORK

*****However:

domain2.com/mailman/listinfo --- WORKS
     www.domain2.com/mailman/listinfo ---- ALSO WORKS!!!

 - - - and a couple of other virtual host domains also work either way, with
or without the www prefix.  It's only the first (default) virtual host that
doesn't work with the www prefix.  Maybe it's an Apache thing?  Any further
thoughts?  Thanks - John
