Hi developers,
when a user tries to confirms a subscription request for a list with
"confirm+approve" subscription poliy via the URL given in the "confirm"
email, he hits a bug (see attachment). The administrator is notified
about a subcription request but does not find one in the administrative
database.
Who helps?
