Will I break anything if I go into his Subscriber Options page via 
the Admin Control panel and Admin password and press the button to 
send him a reminder of his password?


Actually, he should go the the options login screen at
http://www.example.com/mailman/options/list_name and enter his email
address at the top and click Remind at the bottom. Then you don't have
to be involved other than giving people this instruction.

You can't do exactly what you suggest, because it will take you to the
options page at
http://www.example.com/mailman/options/list_name/user--at--example.net
and you will be already authenticated as admin, so you will be at the
options page with no Remind button.

You then have to click Log out which will take you to the options log
in page for the user (but won't log you out as admin) where you can
click Remind.

Hi Mark


Actually, he should go the the options login screen at
http://www.example.com/mailman/options/list_name and enter his email
address at the top and click Remind at the bottom.


That URL is serving a 404.

Did you modify it appropriately for your installation and list name?

Yes, well, you weren't actually meant to click on that link in your 
email. You need to replace www.example.com with the proper host name 
for your server and replace list_name with the name of the particular 
list you're dealing with. Or is that what you tried?

Er, user error.  :-)

Thank you, Mark and Harry - I've got it now.
