Ingame Mailing list administration needs some improvements.

I had to very recently comb through a mailing list and check the corporation of each member to see if they still needed to be there. I had done this before, but I didn't remember as it being so painful. Perhaps it's because the mailing list grew that now the effect is more noticeable.

What I had to do through the 9 pages of subscribers (and I know that by some standards that's still a medium to small list) was right click on every member and show info. This, of course, would not be necessary if the admin interface showed more data, in this case the corporation the guys belong to.

The other things that noticed is that I don't have really an option to kick people, it's not a kick, it's a ban. Kicking somebody adds them to a list of banned people. Taking them out of that list puts them into the approved people, there's no middle ground.

To make matters a little worse, the names in those two lists are not clickable, so it's really hard to check a bigger list to see if any of those people rejoined your corporation.

As it stands, the system is usable, but it does not handle scale well from the administrative user side, as the amount of work to comb through a list gets really big. The all on or all off to kicking is extremely binary, and needs links.

This is not the highest priority, but it's one of those things that makes life easier for the people doing administrative work for corporations.
