Summary: Mass subscription welcome message behavior is unclear

Initial Comment:
It's not clear that when you mass subscribe people to a list that the 'Send welcome messages to new subscribees?' option is affected by the send_welcome_msg.

Please could a note or link to further help be added to the 'Send welcome messages to new subscribees?' option in Mass Subscription be added to make this clear to users.

I recall now. This was fixed in Mailman 2.1.9.

It's not clear (from the mass subscribe page) that when you mass subscribe
people to a list that the 'Send welcome messages to new subscribees?'
option does not work when send_welcome_msg is turned off.

In what way is it affected?  It shouldn't be. I seem to recall a bug in
this area at one time, but I can't offhand find what it was or when it was
fixed. What Mailman version are you using?
