Good thing I now have ADSL, as you don't accept bugs by email.] At many places one sees Messages containing an Approved: header with the list owner password are still allowed through or Then, when the message shows up in your mailbox, make your edits and resend the message to the list, including an Approved: header with the list password as its value. or Which promptly gets sent to the list, one then thinks. List password or moderator password or both etc. or more in templates/* etc. The user thinks "oh great, the software intends so ever nonchalantly to send the master password in all four directions." Therefore remember to assure the user each time you broach the issue, that the password will be replaced by <what?> and he can be rest assured, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1867279&group_…
