I hacked the Deliverer.py file, putting the following in the Deliverer
class declaration:

        # get the text from the template
        if os.path.exists('/Users/mailman/MailSystem/lists/' + string.lower(self
.real_name) + '/readonly'):
           template_file = 'subscribeack-readonly.txt'
        else:
           template_file = 'subscribeack.txt'
        text = Utils.maketext(
            template_file,
            {'real_name'   : self.real_name,
             'host_name'   : self.host_name,
             'welcome'     : welcome,
             'umbrella'    : umbrella,
             'emailaddr'   : self.GetListEmail(),
             'listinfo_url': self.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1),
             'optionsurl'  : self.GetOptionsURL(name, absolute=1),
             'password'    : password,
             })

The 'readonly' file is just an empty stub file.  I'm not sure if this
is what you had in mind but it works for me.

Thanks,
Jose
