Thanks. I'll have a look.

Whenever you want. Are you wanting me to do it and you announce on 
the new list? I thought it might be better to announce on the old 
list and then put in the names.

I'm confused. I had to create a password in order to control my 
account on Topica. That's exactly the same with mailman. How is this 
different?

Mailman will assign the people we put in a bulk subscription a 
password. They can manage their subscription with the web interface 
using this password, and they can change the password to something 
easy to remember. They don't need a password to read or post 
messages. While the web interface looks different,  the email 
interface is very similar.

By the way, the reply-to looks ugly right now, I want to try to clean 
it up. I would also like to do the OE list at the same time, but so 
far don't have the email list. (But if any delay, we don't have to 
wait.)
