Title: Listserv- password

Hi;

Interesting observation - one that I was not aware of.

I sent out an email to an internal list that only the moderator can post and has a 10 character password.

Someone replied to me with the body of the email & what I found amazing was the email body.  The password was right in the body.

============
<HTML><HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<TITLE>[:PASSWORD IN PLAIN TEXT:] Server Moves... Launch date</TITLE>

<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1264" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
=============

So the email is easily detected and one can easily find out the password if they just look at the source code.

Isn't that interesting?

Regards,
Kami
