You would create the following URL:

    https://..................?ids:list=foo&ids:list=bla&ids:list=......

Note that your list values must be "url_quote_plus" encoded for
this, if they contain special characters including white space!

It is not easy to build such an URL in DTML (it is possible, though).
Use a Python Script. There, you have "for" loops and
assignment and can access the "url_quote_plus" encoder (--> mailing
list archives).
