You have to use an index and the []-notation:

http://host/Controller/Index?ValueA=val&MyList[0]=item1&MyList[1]=item2

THe index hasn't to be an incrementing integer - it just has to be unique.

EDIT

Ok, thanks to the link plurby writes in his comment you can leave out the bracket notation and just repeat the property name:

http://host/Controller/Index?ValueA=val&MyList=item1&MyList=item2
