Summary: request: invite text and message subject

Initial Comment:
Glad to see the invite functionality appearing in 2.1 
I have two comments.

1.  I would like to be able to invite people and
include a custome text message (as on yahoogroups). 
That way I can invite them and remind them "I am
inviting you to join this list because you gave me your
email address at the conference and you said you might
be interested."

2.  The subject line of the invitation makes it look a
lot like spam.  I would make it something like:
Subject:  Invitation to join LISTNAME@HOSTNAME - confirm 

I have see this done where it is padded with spaces so
that the ugly confirmation code will not appear in the
window of most email readers, the invitee doesn't
really need to sent it anyway.

The link is awesome thought.  Thanks for adding this.
