[Mailman-Developers] an issue with the listinfo/<listname> page...

[Chuq Von Rospach]

I was working upgrading to the latest CVS tonight, and realized 
there's a problem with the list page put up when you go to 
.../listinfo/listname.

that's the URL used when someone wants to access the list or 
subscribe to it, but there's no link there that allows a user to log 
on and change their subscription option. that's a different URL 
(../listinfo/listname/emailaddr) that's sent to them when they 
subscribe, but you can't assume they'll save that (in fact, you can 
guarantee most of them won't), so the user dead-ends trying to get 
into the web site to try to change their options.

There really needs to be a way, both on the listinfo/ page and the 
listinfo/listname page, for an existing subscriber to sign in and get 
to their subscription configuration page. Otherwise, people are going 
to get lost and end up annoying the admin for help...

I'd classify this as a medium to medium-high problem, because it's a 
huge dead end in the interface with a significant number of users 
who'll be looking for it.
