Funny enough I just did this last night for a project.  I'm no great 
shakes as a coder so there may be other ways of doing it but I put the 
following HTML into a web page:

<form target="_blank" Method=POST 
ACTION="http://www.domain.org/mailman/subscribe/listname">
<center>
<span class="pn-normal">Subscribe to our<br>
Campaign 2002<br>
infolist -</span><br>
<span class="pn-title">Working to Win!</span><br><br>
<span class="pn-normal">Your email address:</span><br>
<input type="Text" name="email" size="15"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="pw" value="password">

yes, yes, configurable[0], I dunno.

[0] Total size of an individual email is limited. Mailman doesn't
recognize attachments, it only recognizes mail messages. It doesn't
care abnout content. See the FAQs.

Back up my hard drive? I can't find the reverse switch!

Setting the digest Volume number

How does one reset the digest volume number and issue number.  I am
converting from majordomo to mailman and need to keep the numbering
consistent (i.e.  I want to set the volume to 2002 and the issue to 300)

Thanks Tod

use of patch 413752

Okay, I'm missing something here, and I'm not sure what.  :)

I'm setting up a new list for use off my home server.  Now using
Mailman 2.0.8, Python 2.1.1, FreeBSD 4.4

Everything went quick and easy until I tried adding features to
strip out MIME'd postings.

I decided to use the patch listed at sourceforge rather than
stripmime or demime.  No reason, just seemed the easier thing
to try.  I may still end up changing my mind  ;)

Downloaded patch 0.16.  Applied the patch (had to manually add the
changes to Defaults.py because my defaults didn't match what the
diffs were looking for).  Made sure all in ~mailman/Mailman was
updated.  Mailman still runs fine.  The HTML in test postings to 
the list is not stripped out. 

I also can't seem to find any "operational" instructions for how 
to activate the new feature...unless the patch is supposed to 
automatically turn it on when added?  If that's the case, what'd 
I miss?

If it matters, the list was created *before* the patch was applied;
does that affect it's operation?

Anyone else here using that patch that can point me in the right 
direction?

data inside text

Hello,

How can I include the real e-mail address (and manybe data for a user, like
real username, and key) for a MailMan list message inside
the -body text-?

I.e... like "This message is addressed to the person using the e-mail
user <at> domain.com, please check this e-mail is correct"

You have to set 'Must post have list named in destination (to,cc) field?'
in Privacy Options to No. 
But read FAQ first (www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py, 1.9).
