But you don't have to enter a username. Just an email address. There is
no match between username and email address.
Nobody else would get the password. Only the user itself. But I think it
could be annoying.
I didn't try that before. But after you ask, I tried it with yours ;-)
I hope you don't have the same email in your typo3 account as in the
maillinglist. :-D
Otherwise you got a new password.
Have a nice day
Christoph
