This is news to me. I never got this kind of stuff from this mailing list.
This is a standard mailman message - maybe they changed the setting lately?
I moved mailman to a new server and it looks like the old one never ran mailman cronjobs (the new one does). That said, yes it is a standard message and it defaults to being enabled, but since nobody complained before we've disabled it again for our lists.

Even if it's removed, it means that mailman stores passwords in plain text, which is a bad thing. Regards, Marcel

From the mailman page:
You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. *Do not use a valuable password* as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext.

That's an age-old issue with Mailman and will finally be remedied with Mailman version 3.x. --byte
