Security problem of email registration page
Hi there, I become aware of the problem that https://mail.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell send a password to http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/subscribe/haskell. Probably it means this page will send a password without encryption. Could you use https instead of http, or remove this duplicate page? I had used https://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell instead.
GNU mailman passwords are explicitly _*NOT*_ secure! _*DO NOT REUSE MAILING LIST PASSWORDS!*_ They ARE stored in plaintext and will be mailed back to you periodically on some setups to confirm that you want to remain subscribed. On 02/25/2018 12:44 AM, 姓名 wrote:

...it's true that without HTTPS someone could man-in-the-middle you and get you to join a secret, ILLEGAL haskell mailing list, for NEFARIOUS purposes. Some say demons wander those hills, seeking to lure the unwary to the unhallowed lands of javascript... On 02/27/2018 08:23 AM, Thomas Jakway wrote:
