There are no settings for it nor for defaulting subscribe/invite to
invite (although as a result of this thread, there may be in Mailman
2.2). Here's a patch I use to default to "invite". Eliminating
subscribe as an option is a bit more involved and I don't have a patch
for it offhand, but one way to do it would be to change
'subscribe_or_invite' from a radio button selection to a hidden field
with a fixed value of 1.
