The correct list would be zsh-users@sunsite.auc.dk
From the zsh manpage:
There are two keymaps - the main keymap and the alternate
keymap. The alternate keymap is bound to vi command mode.
The main keymap is bound to emacs mode by default. To
bind the main keymap to vi insert mode, use bindkey -v.
However, if one of the VISUAL or EDITOR environment vari-
ables contain the string vi when the shell starts up the
main keymap will be bound to vi insert mode by default.
