Doesn't Mailman always do that? Every Mailman list I'm on does
things that way, and I don't even know if Mailman has any other
way of doing things. The list page mentions that explicitly:
https://www.linuxchix.org/content/join-our-email-lists-or-read-archives
as do the subscription pages for each list ("Do not use a valuable
password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext.")

Doesn't this sf-lug list do the same thing? I don't seem to
have any saved Mailman notices for sf-lug, but svlug and balug
(as well as a zillion other technical lists I'm on) send the same
cleartext reminders.

I don't know why Mailman does things that way, but it's definitely
not a LinuxChix specific problem.
