Just received this automated email from the mailing list server:

                                            ^^^^^^^
Obviously I've edited my details :-) but, um, shouldn't this count as a 
"risk", sending passwords in cleartext like that? In fact, even 
*keeping* the original password (instead of the result of a one-way hash 
(etc)) is a bit lame nowadays.


Best wishes,

Rick.
