The command line tools mentioned in the FAQ article are the best and
most preferred way to do these kinds of things, but if you don't have
shell access there are a couple of other ways to get a member list.

There is the web list roster page and the e-mail 'who' command. Both of
these have the 'problem' of not showing members who've opted out of
these lists, so they may not be satisfactory in a particular case.

You can also get a member list by scripting the web interface. See
http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb for an
example.
