ok, but the idea was to receive an url to reset it, not to retrieve it. 
The problem is that moderators are persons who forgot regularly the 
password, and instead of asking the administrator, they do nothing and 
pending messages become numerous...
or, since all the moderators share the same password (since i can only 
set one password for moderator), they tend to write it somewhere  (image 
3-4 persons sharing the moderator role) and it may happen that anybody 
can get it...? ok, writing this and i understand that the problem isn't 
easy... but the need is here, because some lists need to be moderated by 
several people.


thanks for the reply
