[Mailman-Users] Can't subscribe via web

[Armando Soto Baeza]

OK. It is not my list, but WHY DO NOT YOU READ THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE
INSTALLING? I am new to mailman and had no problems with it (well just a
few little, subtile ones). Maybe the message coul be YOU'LL BE REALLY VERY
SORRY IF YOU DON'T. do you think it were enough?
