Thanks for the sample code.  If I knew more about python I'd try and fix it 
myself.  (Learning python is on my "list of things to do", I just haven't 
gotten there yet.)  It does tend to hose other mailman functionality, so if 
you don't want to test it on a production mailman box, let me know.  I'm in 
the process of setting up my first list so mailman hasn't gone live yet and 
I'd be happy to test it.

I was thinking ~/mailman/templates/subscribeack.[list-name].txt might be a 
good location.

Then don't spend a lot of time on it, unless you've nothing better to 
do.  ;-)  It'd be nice to have, but I can probably make my earlier 
suggestion re: short subscribeack.txt file and add the rest to the "list 
specific text prepended..." box on the general options page.  AFAIK, you 
can't include html tags though, which could be a drawback.
