[Bug 899344] [NEW] Ability to set nomail on initial subscription
Public bug reported: I frequently find myself subscribing to a list for the sole purpose of ensuring I can post to that list, since it only allows posting from members. I often read those (high-volume) lists via the archives only, as well as threads that CC me. Thus, I want to set the nomail flag. Often I end up doing so for multiple subscriptions to the same list with a few different email addresses. Currently, the process for doing that looks something like this: Type in my name and email address, hit subscribe, wait for confirmation mail, confirm subscription, wait for subscription confirmation mail, go back to web form, copy/paste password, log in, check nomail, delete the handful of unwanted emails that arrived in the meantime. Repeat for every list I want to subscribe to, and every email address I want to post from. I'd like to have a way to set the "nomail" flag right from the subscription form. That would simplify the process significantly; I'd still have to confirm the subscription, but I wouldn't need to bother logging in and setting the flag, and I wouldn't receive unwanted emails from high-volume lists. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899344 Title: Ability to set nomail on initial subscription To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/899344/+subscriptions

I think this feature request is only appropriate for Mailman 2, where each individual subscription is completely disconnected from all your other subscriptions on the system. Mailman 3 would do it very differently, although some of the concepts still apply.
From the UI side, I see things working very differently, and I think this is mostly a UI issue. It's possible we could add something in MM3 for the email subscription interface though.
