Asked and answered:

"Ted White asked:

* E-mail list: something over 3,400.
* Usenet/Newsnet: whatever the combined readership of rec.arts.sf.fandom
and uk.people.sf-fans might be.
* Websites: can't be bothered to implement a hit counter!
* Paper: a couple of hundred printed here each month (but 50 or more
copies stay archived for new readers whom I like to start off with several
back issues), a couple of hundred more by Janice Murray for North America.
Other local copies are printed by "Hero Distributors" to go out with
=Thyme= in Australia (now desperately infrequent), the UK Birmingham Group
newsletter (every month), and a couple more places, but I haven't enquired
about these circulation figures for a while.

So, yes, that would seem to make ANSIBLE the highest-circulated fanzine in
the world.  (My paper copy comes via Janice Murray in Seattle.)
