Hi, By default, while subscribing to a mailing list on a website, running Mailman (GNU) for mailing list management, the user has got options to manage his/her subscription options. There is an option of getting password reminder email for this list once in a month. And, by default, this option is set to Yes. Along with sending the password reminder mail in *plain text* to the users, it get's archived on the sites too. This seems that, the mailing list admins are not aware of the power of search engine bots. :-)
That's not a Mailman problem. The problem there is people who implement mailing list archives by subscribing an address to the list, and then blindly archiving everything that arrives. Yeah, it's still a problem, let's just point the blame where it belongs...
