[Mailman-Users] Turning off unsubscription confirmation

[deepali]

This explains why your patch didn't work for me!  I was trying to  
turn off the "your email command was successful" emails that get sent  
back when the user subscribes to a listserve.  From what you've said  
below, the patch addresses some other issue.

Thanks for your time,
- Deepali
