	The FAQ entry on this subject is at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp>.

	However, reading this entry, I see that it needs work.

	Two ways:

		1.  If you have access to the command line prompt on the server
			where the list is located, you can use the command list_members
			(see 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp>).

		2.  Depending on the permissions set for the list, you can use
			the e-mail admin interface.  The FAQ entry at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.025.htp>
			has useful information in this area.
