Mistakes in mailman strings

[Malcolm Parsons]

    _('''You have regular list members but non-digestified mail is
    turned off. They will receive mail until you fix this
    problem.'''), tag=_('Warning: '))
That doesn't sound like a problem. Missing "not"?

    Label(_('Send welcome messages to new subscribees?')),
I haven't found "subscribee" in any dictionary, but I think it means "publisher", or in the context of mailman "list owner". This message should say "subscribers".

    _('Sender discarded message via web.'))
Missing "the"

    doc.AddItem(Header(3,_("Can't have empty html page.")))
Missing "an", "html" not in capitals.

    table.AddRow([_("""This page allows you as the list owner, to permanent
    remove this mailing list from the system. <strong>This action is not
s/permanent/permanently/

    'You can access your personal options via the following url:')
"url" not in capitals.

    _('''An introductory description - a few paragraphs - about the
    list. It will be included, as html, at the top of the listinfo
    page. Carriage returns will end a paragraph - see the details
    for more info.'''),
"html" not in capitals.

    _("""When a new member is subscribed to this list, their initial
    set of options is taken from the this variable's setting.""")),
"the this"?

    <p>When personalization is enabled, a few more expansion
    variables that can be included in the <a
    href="?VARHELP=nondigest/msg_header">message header</a> and
    <a href="?VARHELP=nondigest/msg_footer">message footer</a>.
extra "that"

    <li><b>user_optionsurl</b> - The url to the user's option
"url" not in capitals.

    _("""When a message is posted to the list, a series of
    moderation steps are take to decide whether the a moderator must
    first approve the message or not. This section contains the
    controls for moderation of both member and non-member postings.
"are take" should be "are taken". "the a" should be "a"

    If you spell the list name as just `mylist', then the email hostname will be
    taken from DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and the url will be taken from DEFAULT_URL (as
    defined in your Defaults.py file or overridden by settings in mm_cfg.py).
"url" not in capitals.

Another one:

The string:
"When you scrub attachments, they are stored in archive
area and links are made in the message so that the member can
access via web browser. If you want the attachments totally
disappear, you can use content filter options."

has missing words:

"When you scrub attachments, they are stored in the archive
area and links are made in the message so that the member can
access via a Web browser. If you want the attachments to totally
disappear, you can use content filter options."

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
