=== Mark, Thank you for that information. I gave that URL idea a try and if I happened to be logged in as a list administrator for a list, I got a list of members. I also tried getting a roster by going to a ".../mailman/roster/<listname>" of a list I am a member of but was not logged in. I got an "authentication failed." error message. Since one needs to be a member of the list to see the members, that makes sense. One could set the URL to point to the ".../listinfo/<listname>" page where the person could enter their email address and password to get the list members, but I think the list admininstrator wants something a bit easier to get the names. I will share your thoughts with the list administrator about not wanting to do that anyway due to privacy concerns. Excellent point.
