Slightly lame logging: web subscription request

It appears that MM 2.1b4's logging of web subscription requests is a bit lame -- it doesn't actually log the email address involved, just the real name. Is this deliberate?

No. I'll have to double check this when I get a chance. -Barry

OK. If it helps, here are some log excerpts. First, Apache:

24.202.9.108 - - [28/Oct/2002:11:09:27 -0500] "GET /mailman/listinfo/mems-announce HTTP/1.1" 200 6451 "http://mail.mems-exchange.org/mailman/listinfo/" "Opera/6.1 (Linux 2.4.19-gw i686; U) [en]" "SSL -" 0sec 24.202.9.108 - - [28/Oct/2002:11:12:04 -0500] "POST /mailman/subscribe/mems-announce HTTP/1.1" 200 1202 "http://mail.mems-exchange.org/mailman/listinfo/mems-announce" "Opera/6.1 (Linux 2.4.19-gw i686; U) [en]" "SSL -" 1sec

I entered the subscribe form with email="xxx@gerg.ca" (censored since I don't like revealing addresses in my personal domain) and fullname="Greg Ward". Here's what Mailman logged:

==> subscribe <== Oct 28 11:12:04 2002 (26884) mems-announce: pending Greg Ward 24.202.9.108

==> smtp <== Oct 28 11:12:05 2002 (24845) mailman.0.1035821524.26884.mems-announce@memsnet.org smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.157 seconds

and here's what Exim logged for the outgoing confirmation mail:

As this ist still in 2.1b5, I had a look. The following patch fixed it for me, but I don't understand the case I didn't fix (umbrella lists?).
