Mark,
Thanks much for your response.
Yes, I did realize I could directly edit that bit of HTML, replacing the
<MM-List-Subscription-Msg> tag with my own specific text. I was not sure,
though, if there was some sort of mechanism in the built-in user interface for
editing the content of the variable that I (clueless bowb that I sometimes am) had
overlooked. All things considered, when a chunk of text is sourced from a variable,
I'd rather modify the variable definition instead of just taking it out of the
process.
However, it also just seems to me that this is one of those things that should
probably be editable on the *General Options* form page itself, like most of
the other text chunks. That's why I also asked about the procedure for adding
that editing capability as a feature request for the *General Options* form
page.
Best regards,
Mike

how to edit code on the server somewhere. Can someone point me to what I have
to do to edit this particular variable? I've got the sneaking suspicion that
this stuff is not going to be easy to gain access to on the hosting company's
server.
You are making this more difficult than it needs be, The replacement
for the<MM-List-Subscription-Msg> tag is the result of a procedure in
Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py named FormatSubscriptionMsg(), and it creates
an 'appropriate' message based on the list's subscribe_policy,
private_roster and umbrella_list settings.
However, if you don't like the generated message for your list, just
edit the list's *General list information page* and replace the
<MM-List-Subscription-Msg> tag with whatever text you want.
