It means that if you issue a

        Q listname WITH CONCEAL FOR *@*

command in the body of a message to listserv@... you'll get a list of
subscribers to the "listname" mailing list that are set to CONCEAL.
This also works with other subscription options:

        Q listname WITH DIGEST FOR *@*

returns all subscribers set to DIGEST, etc.

You need to be a listowner (or site administrator) to issue a "Q
listname WITH ... FOR ..." command.
