Mailman question

[jc at trillian.mit.edu (John Chambers)]

Another question:  I just got a message from the list  software  that
included  my  id  and  password.  I've been noticing that a number of
lists are now doing this. Somehow, sending an id and password through
email  in  the  clear  seems  to  be  defeating the very concept of a
password. I'd assume that it's now known to every spy agency, cracker
and spammer on the Net ...
