And what is or will be the "directory page"? Not being facetious -- List Admins, visitors, and subscribers apparently see different pages?

That is actually a very good and important question. An example: http://home.rootsweb.ancestry.com/listindexes/search?query=enland The very important thing to note is that MailMan is currently pulling the wrong fields in the wrong places and some of these are from the previous system. We do believe they will be correct when we upgrade in a few weeks. The joys of inherited software.
