[Bug 1004213] [NEW] "list my other subscriptions" does not

[Ross Boylan]

Public bug reported:

Summary: "list my other subscriptions" fails to list all my
subscriptions at mail.kde.org, and obeys no consistent rule I can
discern.  There is a secondary issue: the word "other" is misleading, as
the list includes the list from which one clicks that button.  I suggest
changing it to "list my subscriptions" or "list all my subscriptions at
this site."

This was at mail.kde.org, running MM 2.1.14.  The site administrator
says the code has not been customized locally; I couldn't get info on
the exact OS or package.

A mail failure on my end caused several days of bounced emails and I
wanted to check that my subscriptions were OK at mail.kde.org.  Through
ross at biostat.ucsf.edu I subscribe to kde, kdepim-users, and kde-linux,
The first list checked (kde-linux? maybe kde) looked OK (mail delivery was
enabled) and so I clicked on "list my other subscriptions".  This showed
2 of the 3 subs, not kdepim-users.  I went to kdepim-user's general
interface and asked to list subscribers.  It accepted my edress and
password, and showed my edress among the subscribers.

When I checked my info for kdepim-users it again seemed to show my
subscription as active.  I noticed I had misspelled my name, and
corrected it.  I suspected that the name misspelling accounted for the
fact kdkepim-users did not show up in my list of subscriptions.

Note that all 3 lists show up in the site's master list of mailman
lists; they are in the same domain.

>From kdepim-users I then clicked "list my other subscriptions".  Again I
saw only 2, but a different 2: kde was missing.  When I logged into
that list my subscription again looked fine.  I clicked on list other
subs, and this time got a list that had only kde on it (note that the
first list of subscriptions I saw had kde and kde-linux, but not kdepim).  This disproved
my theory that it would only show 2, as well as my theory about the name
misspelling mattering.

All accounts have the same password.

I suspect this is just a cosmetic problem, but am not sure.

I used Konqueror 3.5.9 on KDE 3.5.10 under Debian Lenny.  I know; I'm
living in the past.

I discussed this with site admin; he had no ideas about what could be
causing this behavior.

Thanks for your work on mailman!
