Bug Description

It's not clear that when you mass subscribe people to a list that the 'Send
welcome messages to new subscribees?' option is affected by the
send_welcome_msg.

Please could a note or link to further help be added to the 'Send welcome
messages to new subscribees?' option in Mass Subscription be added to make
this clear to users.

In what way is it affected? It shouldn't be. I seem to recall a bug in
this area at one time, but I can't offhand find what it was or when it was
fixed. What Mailman version are you using?

It's not clear (from the mass subscribe page) that when you mass subscribe
people to a list that the 'Send welcome messages to new subscribees?'
option does not work when send_welcome_msg is turned off.

I recall now. This was fixed in Mailman 2.1.9.
