The main issue with this is that the user's password (encrypted) is in the
email. Allowing just anybody to subscribe to such a list is not a good
idea. Currently only people with accounts on toye have access to these
passwords. I could send a message without the password to a cvs-req list
so people can see the requests and manually email the full requests to the
people with toye accounts that are interested.
I looked at doing this before, but dropped it when I hit the password
issue and realized it wouldn't be a 30 second fix.
