Bad mailing list practice?

[Cyrus Daboo <daboo at isamet.com>]

A public mailbox (accessible by anyone with an IMAP client) just received a 
mailman reminder about a subscription to this list. That message contained 
a clear-text password (actually several in this case). Whilst mailman does 
have an option for subscribers to turn off the password reminder I think it 
is bad practice to have that default to 'on' for new subscribers given that 
mailing lists are often piped into public archives.
