Messages that begin with #~ are "obsolete message" comments. They are
messages that couldn't be matched against a current message in the
template (.pot) file when msgmerge was run.

This particular message has not been in the source for a long time. The
actual message in the current source is the one immediately following
the line

#: Mailman/Gui/ContentFilter.py:42

This particular message goes in the body of an email, so the lines
should be ind3ented, wrapped and filled as necessary to make a uniform
looking email body. In other messages that are ultimately destined for
HTML for example, the line lengths are not important.

Stripping here means removal of the entire Reply-To: header from the
incoming mail. In this context, you could replace "stripped" with
"removed" without changing the meaning.

There are 158 messages where msgstr is empty.

Are you looking at the Mailman 3.0 branch? If so, the templates are in
the message catalog and are installed for selected languages at
installation time. But, you should be looking at the 2.1 branch because
that has the most complete and up to date translations at this time. In
the 2.1 distribution, the templates are in the templates directory in
the distribution.

Finally, note there is a bin/transcheck script that checks for the
presence of all the appropriate substitution variables.
