Each list has an attribute admin_member_chunksize which controls this
for that list. If the total membership is <=
admin_membership_chunksize, it will be displayed in one page.
Otherwise, it will be displayed in sections by the first character of
the e-mail address.

There is an existing RFE related to this at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=782436&group_id=103&atid=350103

Unfortunately, the gotcha here is that admin_member_chunksize is not
available in the admin interface (see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1072002&group_id=103&atid=100103).
It is set at list create time from the Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py variable
DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE, but after the list is created, it has
to be changed with bin/withlist. See
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-June/045020.html
for an example of how to do this.

The search
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+admin_member_chunksize
will turn up lots of prior discussion of this.
