I have grave doubts about the sanity of any list owners/administrators who
periodically, predictably broadcast, or allow to be broadcast, their
members' passwords for any reason!
Who in Hell needs Microsoft's security holes when we have lists that do
this?
Peace, health, wisdom and wealth.
Live long and prosper.

GREAT NEWS! You should visit http://www.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/motorhome.html.

Note, btw, what the subscribe web page
(http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug)
says about the password entry:
"You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security,
but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a
valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in
cleartext.
If you choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically generated
for you, and it will be sent to you once you've confirmed your subscription.
You can always request a mail-back of your password when you edit your
personal options. Once a month, your password will be emailed to you as a
reminder."
So, as it says "DO NOT USE A VALUABLE PASSWORD" (hmm... perhaps I should change
that to be all caps?). In fact, don't think of it as a password at all. Think
of it as a subscription setting cookie. You have to have the cookie to change
your information.
Note also, that I believe you can setup your notifications so it doesn't send
you this monthly reminder, but that way you also won't be reminded that your
subscribed to our list (not that you need to with the traffic we have :-).
Cheers,
Tanner
