We are now in public beta using the list on campus (to replace majordomo) and I got these rather sensible requests from one of the testers.:

It would be nice if error messages from the software included the web address for the list, but so far I've only seen that in the "help" file that I requested. An attempt to unsubscribe (just to see what would happen) resulted in an error message (since I did not at that time know my password), but no instructions on how to get the password. The error message did include instructions on how to get the "help" file. That might be a good suggestion for a listserve for users of this software, if one exists. It would also be nice if there was a way to request password info by e-mail from the address subscribed to the list. I cannot see how that option would be less secure than the option to have the password sent to that address using the web site.

The URL in the error message makes a lot of sense to me. I am sure there are reasons for not mailing passwords, but we have a lot of alumni and off-campus users who are not web savvy and use Juno, so web features are not appreciated.

Cheers,
