There is a utility to export lhe list. It's the command line tool
bin/list_members mentioned in the first sentence of the FAQ article
3.62.

The alternatives if you only have web access are also described in the
FAQ. Both Jim's and my scripts work and have been used on lists with
thousands of members. They require you to install Python, and the
ClientCookie package if Python is pre 2.4, on your personal
computer/workstation, but once that is done, they are simple to use.

There is already an RFE at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1156871&group_id=103&atid=350103.
If that doesn't describe what you want, you can add a comment or a new
RFE.
