I haven't had anyone leave in a huff over this, but more than one person
has complained about cleartext passwords. Especially as I was sending them
once a week -- although I've now changed back to once a month. 

I also found that the password reminder was sending the wrong address for
mailman owner -- %(owner)s in cronpass.txt. That's cos my machine doesn't
really have a domain name. It's offline most of the time, so the web
interface isn't accessible to anyone but me, either. So I hacked
mailpasswds to set the right -owner address for each list, and not send
the options URL. Anyone want?
