This works great if you know that the string is part of the e-mail address.
However, it doesn't work on the real name entry, where SCAN does.
Sometimes, all we know is the person's name and that they are subscribed to
one of our lists.  When you run 10 lists spread over two servers, SCANning
all of the lists can be a pain.  Being able to use the * wildcard for the
listname with the SCAN command, as Etrit Bardhi originally suggested, would
be a great timesaver.
