Richard,

   They probably SET their own subscription options to CONCEAL which
is their right.  However, you (as listowner) can always view who
these people are in several different ways.

   If you just want a list of those members on your list who have set
themselves to CONCEAL you can send the command:

   QUERY listname WITH CONCEAL FOR *@*
   (Section 5.1, 1.8c ListOwners manual)

   If, however, you want a complete list of all your subscribers
including those who are concealed you can send the command:

   GET listname (NOLOCK

   which will return your header and the complete list of subscribers
to your list without locking it.  Just make sure you do NOT PUT this
file back (there's no need)!

   Hope this helps.
