[Elecraft] Received email from qth.net containing my login email and password

[Mike]

Tom -

The first item in the FAQ page on the qth.net site:
"*Q* - *I didn't get my monthly password reminder. What's wrong?*
*A* - We turned off password reminders. They seem to cause us to have spam blacklist 
problems (some ISPs think we are spammers sending out so much mail at one time) and 
some users were confused about getting plain text passwords via e-mail. If you need 
to make changes to your subscription and you don't know your password, it is easy to 
ask for the password to be sent. At the bottom of the List Options 
<http://mailman.qth.net/subscribers.htm#options> page, there are instructions for 
getting a password reminder via e-mail. "

Maybe they turned it back on, on maybe you inadvertently set it yourself in options?
