Where do you see that?

As Dragon said in his reply, the lists command only lists those lists
for which advertised is true with the exception that the list you sent
the command to is always listed.

There is another possible reason for the difference. If
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is yes (the default), the lists email command
will list those advertised lists whose host_name attribute matches
that of the list to which the command was sent, whereas the listinfo
and admin overview pages will list those advertised lists whose
web_page_url attribute contains the hostname of the URL used to access
the page. Thus, if there is not a unique mapping between the host in
the list's web_page_url attribute and the list's host_name attribute,
this can cause the two lists to be different.
