Summary: Variables in the template postauth.txt are not substituted

Initial Comment:
The template file postauth.txt contains: 

> As list administrator, your authorization is requested for thefollowing 
> mailing list posting:
> List:    %(listname)s@%(hostname)s    From:    %(sender)s    Subject: 
> %(subject)s    Reason:  %(reason)s
> 
> At your convenience, visit:
> %(admindb_url)s
> to approve or deny the request.

When an email is sent to the administrator, the variables are of course supposed to be substituted with their respective values. THis didn't happen, however. I cannot think of another explanation than a bug. My Mailman version is 2.1.8. In this case, I'm using Finnish versions of the templates (modified by me), but that shouldn't affect this, I think.

Perhaps the 'bug' is in your modified template. It seems to me that your
modification of the template is the most likely cause of this.

Have you changed the substitution strings %(listname)s, %(hostname)s, etc.
in any way? If you change anything in these strings, they will cease to
work.

Please check for

lists/<listname>/fi/postauth.txt
templates/<list.host_name>/fi/postauth.txt
templates/site/fi/postauth.txt
templates/fi/postauth.txt

The first of these that exists is the Finnish template that will be used.
Review that template, and if you can't find a problem there, I don't know
where it can be unless somehow the call to
 Utils.maketext('postauth.txt', d, raw=1, mlist=mlist),
in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py has been changed.
