[Mailman-Users] Stupid newbie request

[Bob Landman]

Not true Mark.  My list has that option turned off and I checked A,B,C list pages and none of the subcribers had that box checked.

And as for running a script - how can I do that when I don't have command line authority as Mailman for me is hosted by a commercial website?  How do I run such a script (provided I can find someone to write it for me)?

I've been managing Mailman lists for several years.  Every experiment I've tried to elicit a list of members has failed.

The most likely reason for this is that all your list members are 'hidden', in turn because the "General Options->Default options for new members joining this list" setting includes "Conceal the member's address"

And the paragraph following that contains links to scripts that automate the process.
