Hello Developers.
I have a client that would like to customize the subject line of the subscription acknowledgement message that mailman sends out when someone successfully subscribes.
We have successfully customized the lists/<listname>/en/subscribeack.txt message and it works great! However there does not appear to be any way to change the subject line of that message.
I have searched the documentation, list archives, and finally the source code. I could not find anything in the documentation or the archives but the relevant lines of source code appear to be here:
Deliverer.py line 75
msg = Message.UserNotification(
self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
_('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
text, pluser)
This appears to be a hard-coded subject line. :(
Would there be any work-around that wouldn't effect the subject line of every list on the system?
Ultimately I believe there should be two new options added to the General list information page right under "Send welcome message to newly subscribed members?"
Subject line of Welcome message: Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s
Body of Welcome message: <default body text>
Is there any chance this is something that might make it into Mailman anytime soon?
Any suggestions, hints, rants etc. are welcome.
Thank you.
