Good point. Unfortunately, the current implementation doesn't lend itself to that. While each tool (admin mass subscribe, bin/add_members and bin/sync_members) that does bulk adds currently uses a common function to parse the input into name and address, that function is part of the Python email library and would have to be replaced by some other, possibly Mailman specific, function to handle the password. Further, the parsing and resultant passing of the parsed values is done in the tool, not in the underlying method which adds the member, so each tool would have to be modified individually anyway. Of course, it this were to be done, there should be a common syntax for optionally adding the password information. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
