Summary: "private" bit on mailing list not being honored

Initial Comment:
We have a private list, gaim-cabal, set up in the SF list interface.  The admin page still shows this list as being private.

However, today I find, most unpleasently, that this list, and its full archive, is viewable by those not even logged in to the sf page at all.  Moreover, if I try to go to the archive via the list admin page, it *tries* to take me to a private archive, but fails.  No doubt because the archive is *not* now in the private space, but in the public space.

Please fix this so that the list is again private ASAP.  We set that list up to discuss things amoung project members that legal council advised us should not yet be made public.  Clearly we should not be trusting SF at all with such data, and in the future will not, but we do need to fix the current breach.

Greetings,

OK, private lists are no longer readable by those that shouldn't be able
to see them.  We're going to also fix the presence of the list in the
mailing-list dropdown, but it was more important to get the access closed
off first before fixing that.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Greetings,

This should be fixed very soon now.  I'll update this when that happens.
