On those addresses with more than 50 starting with a common letter, they are of course split up, but when I click on another of the sub-letter lists, the “Find” string disappears in the search results and I’m back to a subset of the whole list, not the searched list.  Is there any way around this?  Thanks much.

What great service - 2-day turnaround on bug fixes!  (Not that I will be seeing it any time in the near future with my hosting service :^)

Since we’re on the topic of items residing at bugs.launchpad.net, what are the odds of Bug #1067953 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1067953) getting a little love?  Not quite as easy a change as this one, but would benefit many I’m sure.  Everyone subscribe!
