Dean, If memory serves, once you log in and use your password to do so, you can set options and one of those options is to enable/disable the reminder feature. If this is correct, you might consider sending out the reminders to everyone one time and include the info for disabling/enabling reminderfs in that message.
Then set reminders to off by default and let people turn them on if they want them. Of course, the best solution is to get people to save the welcome messages which is a good idea anyway. Trouble is that none of these solutions will work unless list participants do their part in the job. If they don't, the whole exercise is just a waste of time.

However, we have disabled these reminders on most of our email lists. However, if there are enough people who would like to see monthly reminders enabled, I'm quite happy to do that. There would need to be a significant number of people who wanted these though, as they are seen as a hassle by many. Regards, Dean Jackson Customer/Technical Analyst Pulse Data International Ltd.

What password! I never got a password, when I subscribed to the list. Frankly, I never heard of such an animal on this list. If everyone's getting a reminder of their password, and I don't even have a password, that's an outrage!!! By golly, I'll picket, that's what I'll do!
