I don't have any problem printing simple list.  Well, maybe one case.
If the list is too long (because you only get some part of it in
Messages buffer).  In that case, I do my function in fundamental-mode
with C-j (I think?)  which put the results in the same buffer.  Then you
can do <TAB> (or maybe it's <RET>?) and that will expand to the full
result, if you need to look at that.

But the reason I wrote my function was because I wanted to provide short
list of (separate) variables and have them print out to nicely formatted
message as intermediate structure code and/or for debugging purposes.
Which is nothing to do with lists, per say.
