The advice in the referenced post to modify the code in
Mailman/Commands/cmd_subscribe.py by changing the code at the very end
of the module from

    else:
        # Everything is a-ok
        res.results.append(_('Subscription request succeeded.'))

to

    else:
        # Everything is a-ok
        res.respond = 0

works and does what you want.

If you got a "No commands were found in this message.", you most likely
sent a blank message to the list-request address. You can subscribe by
sending a blank message to list-subscribe or to list-join, but if you
mail to list-request, the message must include a subscribe command in
the subject or body.
