Not just you. The mailing list software changed. It used to be, um,
smartlist or something. Now the lists are run by mailman, which 
means subscribers can do things like change their subscription 
details and whether they get the list as lots of separate messages
or as a digest and so on through a web interface. The URL for the
web interface, for anyone who deleted their "Welcome to the list" 
messages, is at the end of all emails to the list.
