Hi Pine, Thanks for reporting this issue, which is concerning indeed.
As a former product manager for the Editor Engagement team, I still have admin privileges for this list. But I do not know how to remove a message that was posted in the public archives, such as this one: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2014-December/001329.html If someone could teach me how, I would be happy to do remove the messages on this thread. I defer to others with more technical knowledge to identify the root cause of this issue. My colleagues and I will discuss this internally and will report back here once we have a solution.
