Hey Jack, Yours is a common first-of-the-month message when reminders go out. You can blame mailman (the list software) for the plaintext password, not one of the mlpack developers personally. That's how mailman has done it since... forever. Maybe they should update it, but honestly is there any reason? What can a malicious entity do with your mailman password (which is generally randomly generated anyway)? Unsubscribe you from the list? Put your subscription in digest mode? Both of those things sound like they would be improvements for you, and they seem pretty far away from identity theft. If you follow the link at the bottom of every email: http://knife.lugatgt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlpack then you can see at the bottom of the page something that says "To unsubscribe from mlpack, get a password reminder, ..., enter your subscription email address". You said you've done that "like 10 times", but there's no bug in mailman to my knowledge. My guess is that you tried to unsubscribe with a different email than you subscribed with, or that you did not then click the link in the unsubscription request email that you received (and mailman told you that it sent you). In any case, you're clearly frustrated, so I've just gone ahead and hit the unsubscribe button an eleventh time for you. You are now released from your monthly password reminder email and occasional mlpack discussion. Enjoy your slightly-cleaner inbox. :) Have a good one! -- Ryan Curtin | "I love it when a plan comes together."
