[ATcoord] A change to the list where it used to send you your list password in plain text, which wasn't a best practice

[Hayman, Douglass]

List members,

The ATcoord list is a mailman list that up until today, would send you a monthly reminder that you were on the list and would include your list password in plain text.  That isn't a good practice so we were advised to toggle that option off.

When you are added to a mailman list it autogenerates a password for you as a new subscriber.  Since it makes up that password unique to just that one list, you're likely to forget it after months or years of being a subscriber.

So if you do need a reminder for times like wanting to change to digest mode or other such personalization you can go to this page and follow the instruction where it shows "retrieve a lost password."
