Hi all, We are trying to customize the verify.txt which is used in the Email subscription confirmation to the user. We would like to personalize it by adding the user's fullname when they registered. What is the %variable for the user's fullname we can use in the verify.txt file? Since the user'

Hello, I am list administrator on a Mailman list. Users have asked me to password protect the archives. I cannot find this option in my list interface. This option does not seem to do anything: I s archive file source for public or private archival? * private I am using version 2.1.7. Can someone
