I think we should switch *if* you can get the archives moved too.
As for Aaron's concern, it's possible to disable the monthly password
reminders... But then, I can't figure out what could be lost if
someone got their password hijacked - keep the mailing list members
secret to all but the admin.
Oh, and unless we use SSL (is it supported?) the password would go out
in the clear anyway if the user changed options...
