Although I'm not sure the French message was actually about Pidgin,
It doesn't appear to be. Babelfish rough translation sounds like a

the message also needs to make it clear the list is in English, or,
better, should be localised to reference a list in the appropriate language.
Not sure what you mean by 'the message' .. but - my .02:
I go to a website. Website is in English. I click on a link. Link is
in English. Click on another link, link is in English. I subscribe to
a mailing list. Message confirming joining of the mailing list is in
English. English. English. English.
I think it's a given that the mailing list is in ... Oh, I'm going to
go out on a limb here and say... English.
I would think it's silly to have to put on a website, which is in
English, next to instructions to joining a mailing list that's in
English, that the mailing list is in English.
But the main problem is a lot of people don't read.
"MXIT Problems? DO NOT POST THEM TO THIS LIST. CLICK HERE."
Yet.....
So I'd wager putting up a message that the mailing list is in English
would have little, if no effect. :)
