At least on Mailman 2.1.6, something about how the page where you enter the administrative password is designed prevents Firefox from remembering that password for me. It's extremely annoying, I have to go look that one up in Passwordsafe each time I use it, which is nearly daily. Anybody have any ideas?
First off, please don't hijack existing threads and leave the subject line the same. If you have a new topic, please create a new message with a new subject.
Sorry about this ending up attached to the thread. I don't see how it did, and it wasn't my intention.
Secondly, your wording of this question suggests that you have not yet searched the FAQ or the archives before posting -- see FAQ 1.22.
I can find nothing in the FAQ relating to this. However, the copy of the FAQ I have found doesn't have numbers (list.org, documentation, FAQ), so I'm not sure I've looked at the exact item you think addresses it. Where is this FAQ 1.22?

When you "reply" to a previous message, this is what happens.
If you have a new topic, please don't "reply" to a previous message and then continue on discussing whatever unrelated questions you may have.

The Mailman "docs" page at http://www.list.org/docs.html actually links to two different FAQs. One is the old developer-maintained page at http://www.list.org/faq.html, and one links to the newer community-driven Mailman FAQ Wizard at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py.
In addition, if you look at the footer of every single post to this list, you will see the following information:
Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
