Running my second install of Mailman, going well, v 2.1.11 on BSD

The welcome message is built from the subscribeack.txt template which can be edited via the web admin "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link or according to the information in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.

Normally, the only replacements available for a template without modifying the code that uses it are the ones used in the base template, but in this case, there is an additional %(user)s replacement available which will receive the user's email address.

If you actually wanted to add a custom key/value for this template, you'd have to modify the code in the definition of the SendSubscribeAck() method in Mailman/Deliverer.py.
