This may be what they're looking for:
 
 Newsgroups: news.lists,news.announce.newusers,news.answers
 Subject: Publicly Accessible Mailing Lists, Part */*
 From: [log in to unmask] (Stephanie da Silva)
 Frequency: monthly
 Archive-name: mail/mailing-lists/part1
 Summary: 594 mailing lists in six postings
 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1993 01:07:18 GMT
 
Check in a news.answers newsgroup near you.  Or, send mail to
[log in to unmask], with the commands listing each of
the parts:
 
        send usenet/news.answers/mail/mailing-lists/part1
        ...
        send usenet/news.answers/mail/mailing-lists/part6
 
The list of FAQ lists is also quite helpful:
 
 From: [log in to unmask] (Jonathan I. Kamens)
 Newsgroups: news.lists,news.announce.newusers,news.answers
 Subject: List of Periodic Informational Postings, Part */*
 Archive-name: periodic-postings/part1
 
Send this to [log in to unmask] to get the pieces:
 
        send usenet/periodic-postings/part1
        ...
        send usenet/periodic-postings/part6
 
[Who says that the Internet's FAQs aren't organized? ;-)]
