Bug Description

The handle_opt.py and subscribe.py CGI scripts use HTMLFormatter.Document()
rather than HTMLFormatter.HeadlessDocument(), but use template files that
define entire HTML files. This results in broken HTML code being displayed,
even with the standard template files.

For instance, the standard subscribe page shows something like:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY
<body>
<h1>List-Name Subscription results</h1>

(notice the broken BODY tag.)

Yes, it's a bug, but I'm postponing fixing it until 2.1. Changing the code
requires changes to the .html templates, but that complicates upgrading
because those templates are all duplicated in the lists/<listname>/
directories. Most browsers seem to cope, so fixing it isn't critical for
2.0
