[Bug 793669] Re: feature request. change the 'list my other subscriptions' to also report if the other subscriptions are enabled or disabled

[Mark Sapiro]

Thank you for the request and the detailed explanation of the
requirement. It would be fairly simple to implement this in Mailman 2.1,
but I hesitate to do so because it opens a can of worms which is not so
easy to deal with. If this were implemented, I see more requests with
equal justification for displaying digest mode, and possibly other
settings.

I am attaching a patch which will italicize those list names for which
delivery is disabled, but as I said, I hesitate to actually implement
it. I understand the patch does you no good because you want it on
python.org, but even if I released it, there's no telling when it would
be installed (python.org is currently two releases behind).

At this point, I suggest you do post something to mailman-
developers at python.org or possibly better, mailman-users at python.org
referring to this request and asking if others have interest in this
feature. Note that both this lists are 'officially' closed to non-member
posts. See the respective listinfo pages. Had you joined mailman-
developers before sending your original post, I wouldn't have rejected
it, but any reply from me would have been the same.

Also, I completely agree that the text "Use this if you want to make the
same membership option changes to this other subscriptions." is
misleading and should probably say something like "Use this if you want
to make membership option changes to these other subscriptions.", but
changing that has serious i18n implications, and I'm not sure it's worth
it.

I'm also tagging this report for MM 3.
