You didn't say which version of mailman you're using.  Since 2.1 speaks many
languages, the location of the file you need to edit is slightly different
than in 2.0.

In Mailman 2.1, you want to edit ~mailman/templates/en/subscribeack.txt and
in 2.0, it's just ~mailman/templates/subscribeack.txt (I think, I don't have
a 2.0 install handy at the moment).

Editing this file will change the message site wide, which sounds like what
you want.  If, however, you need to edit this file for just one particular
list, you would copy subscribeack.txt to ~mailman/lists/<listname>/en in
MM 2.1 and ~mailman/lists/<listname> in MM 2.0.

I'm not sure if my answer qualifies or not.  I assume that if you've gotten
mailman installed that you'll know how to move around the file-system and
edit text files. ;)

HTH,
