The file is subscribeack.txt. Edit it with your favorite text editor. Be aware that some of the Python strings can't simply be added to the file and be expected to parse the information correctly. There is a bit of Python code that might have to be tweaked in the MailLists.py file in the Mailman directory. However, if all you want to do is add or delete some text, have at it.

Thanks Mark,
I was trying to figure out how to edit the email that goes out after a subscription is accepted, to take out the info on how to post to the list since I am creating an announce only list. And I managed to get it out of the templates folder. Could you point me in the right direction on how to edit that email.

There is no subscribeack.txt template in any of the places that Utils.maketext() looks for it.
Either someone tried to edit it and removed the base template from the templates/<language>/ directory and didn't put the edited template in the right place (the base template should not be removed or changed), or there's a permissions problem, or your Mailman is not completely installed.
