Forging what is needed in Eudora would involve changing a "personality" for each outgoing message. One of our list owners does exactly that for a couple of lists, so that unsubscribing can also be done via her forms without password. --John -- John Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Port Ludlow, WA, USA -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py

AW: [Mailman-Users] Password?
Hello, As an administrator of a list only, how is it possible to change a password to a specific one of a user that you manually subscribe via web-interface? Because i would like to choose a specific (for all members equal password) for every one I manually subscribe (as a list admin).

Re: AW: [Mailman-Users] password input
HTML guru to the rescue! Although I haven't followed the thread of this discussion, you could change the INPUT line to contain It will show up on "View source" though, but if you don't care about that - then that's what you need.

AW: [Mailman-Users] password input
Hello, I have had an idea, that this will be possible if you hide the passwort request and pass ist through with hard-written code. The passwort will be the same for all users, but at the other side, there will be no need to insert a passwort, I think. While i am not a html-guru i think that there is a little tag that hides an input type and passes a value through. So far I have this code: Mihail Tsagidis -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jon Carnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 5.

You will be able to setup lists that do not use passwords. If you want that functionality now, then you'll have to apply one of the many patches that do it, or you'll have to modify the source yourself. I don't know where to find any of the patches (and ironically I've written a few of them...), but if you search the archives or do a google search you will undoubtedly find one you like.
