It is real and safe (if you don't mind seeing your password in plain
text, that is!)

It should be a text message, no HTML or attachments.  (Just as an aside,
I am not aware of any email transmitted viruses that do not have an
attachment...)

If you go to the link near the end of the message that looks something
like:

	http://harp-l.org/mailman/options/harp-l/you%40somedomain.com

you can turn it off by selecting "No" in the "Get password reminder email
for this list?" section after entering your password.
