Using the "-display" option to "list" causes it to ignore other
options.

For example,

"list -l"                  yields:

aprigopu [0]  (active/active)                                  (2)  mail
        [getting mail address                                            ]
tcchou   [0]  (logout/pickup)                                  (1)  c
        [Graphics -- X or more specific progs?  Mail sent 10/29          ]
gabowen  [0]  (active/active)  lotus@W20-575-95.MIT [1]  (off) (1)  scribe
mariani  [0]  (logout/pending)                                 (1)  other

"list -l -display"         yields:

aprigopu [0]  (active/active)                                  (2)  mail
tcchou   [0]  (logout/pickup)                                  (1)  c
gabowen  [0]  (active/active)  lotus@W20-575-95.MIT [1]  (off) (1)  scribe
mariani  [0]  (logout/pending)                                 (1)  other

Also,

list -help            says:

Usage is:       list [-display] [-queue <queues>] [-topic <topic>]
                [-status <statuses>] [-comments] [<username pattern>]


However, 

"help list"           says:

USAGE
     list [-topic <topic>] [-status <status>] [-user <username pattern>]
     [-comments]
