FWIW, Mailman 2.1 will have a much simpler unsubscribe recipe that,
while not disabling passwords, will make them unnecessary for
unsubscription purposes.

- via email:
    1. Member sends a message to mylist-leave at dom.ain
    2. Mailman sends a confirmation message containing a cookie in Subject:
    3. Member responds to confirmation, keeping Subject: intact
    4. Mailman unsubscribes them

- via web
    1. Member visits http://dom.ain/mailman/options/mlist/user@dom.ain
    2. Member clicks on Unsubscribe button
    3. Go to step 2 above

Note that the confirmation also contains a url, which the user can
click on instead of replying.  This puts up a confirmation page with
two buttons: unsubscribe, or cancel the unsubscription request.
