I just noticed that I don't get the monthly mailing list reminders about
subscriptions and passwords that I used to get.

There are no passwords for web interface for the current mlmmj, so the reminders are not sent out because there is not a password for a web interface.

Are they supposed to be working or have they been disabled?

They are 'working' fine, but there is not one for passwords for there is not a password per se. Would you prefer a reminder about what lists you are subscribed to regardless? That can be done and it simply a cron job.


And where are the mailing list archives again?  All of the old links are 
broken.

Can you tell me which links are broken?  All the old archives are still there : 

 http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/

So, it is simply a matter of `ln -s`ing the right directory/file to the spot where it has been for a while.

As for the 'newer' web archives, it has not been completed yet. There are only 4 or 5 active mailing lists, yet someone wanted them all re-enabled regardless of use at all, so I spent my time doing that rather then setting up the web archives. Since then there has not been a request as far as I can tell, so this may be the proper time to do it.

I think the best is "mlmmj-webarchive" from "http://mlmmj.org/docs/readme-archives/". If you think so as well (view an existing one at "http://www.libssh.org/archive/"), that could simply be added today, and the 4-5 active lists will get a new archive soon.

Beyond that, I subscribe to every list on cl-net, and there is not much usage. I turns out that many common lispers prefer to complain about things rather then use them :).

So, in conclusion, "Would you prefer a reminder about what lists you are subscribed to regardless?", "Can you tell me which links are broken?" and "Do you have a web archive preference?".

Answer any one of those and what needs to be done to deal with it will be. Sorry about the delay.
