Russ,
Here is a boilerplate I send to subscribers which includes the password:
You can search the archives (or get back copies of list postings) by
email (see below) or via the web. For the web, go to:
http://apple.ease.lsoft.com/archives/sibernet-l.html
The first time, you will need to sign in with a password. If you wish,
Listserv will save the password in a "cookie" so you don't need to enter
it next time(s). To create the password, send email to the listserv:
[log in to unmask]
No mime or html, plain text ONLY. No signature. No subject. In the body:
PW ADD the_password_you_would_like_to_use
Listserv will ask you to confirm this (to make sure someone else didn't
forge the request). It may take from seconds up to a day or two.
This password is good for all lists on the apple server.
