Is there anyway to have it never ever use the new (well, not new

It's been an RFE for some time
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/266715>.
I understand that for lists of one or two hundred members, it might be
desirable to show two to four pages of 50, but with thousands of
members, the alphabetic chunks may be preferred.
Yep, I can see that for lists of thousands of users it might be
useful. But really, that's a tiny minority of lists. Most mailing
lists are from a couple of dozen to a couple of hundred users.
It seems like a tiered 'chunk size' might be useful. (Under 500 users,
use x users per page, over 500 use alphabetics pages). Or, probably
the best solution, given a list of say 198 users and a chunk-size of
50, display the pages like this:
A-Fr Fu-Le Li-Ru Sa-Za
(50) (50) (50) (48)
assuming that users include a...@example.com and f...@example.com and fun...@example.com
and l...@example.com and li...@example.com and rug...@example.com and sa...@example.com
and z...@example.com.
You're welcome to submit a patch.
Ah, well, yeah. That might be realistic if 1) I was a real programmer
instead of just a dabbler and 2) I spoke python.
