You can obtain a similar effect by selecting the Mailing List in your
Address Book (/not/ the Contacts Sidebar) and clicking on the "Write"
button in the Address Book. This will start a new message with the List
exploded into its constituent Contacts.

IMHO it's rather a pointless function; it's only useful with a new
message (no good for replies or forwards) and all the addressees are
placed in "To:" boxes; very bad of it to encourage such sloppy netiquette.

So, +1 for http://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/index-en.html#explist

I'd suggest to anyone using Mailing Lists that Mail Merge might be a
suitable alternative approach.
