``info <list>'' retrieves the .info file. ``newinfo <list> <password>''
(I think) stores the rest of the message, or up to a line which is just
"EOF" as the .info file. s/info/intro/ as needed.

eg,

info foo

then, edit the info, and send it back like this:

newinfo foo bar
This is the foo@host mailing list

...

EOF

where foo is the list and bar is the password.
