Bug Description

In a way similar to the customized greeting for new subscribers (which is
sent only after a subscription), it would be great to be able to add text
to the initial invitation message, to explain what the list is about, the
basis for the invitation ("met you at the conference"), etc.

This feature already exists.

On the Membership Management...Mass Subscription page, put your additional
text in the second text box, the one below the box for addresses where it
says "Below, enter additional text to be added to the top of your
invitation or the subscription notification. Include at least one blank
line at the end..."

Or do you mean that you want to be able to customize the invitation email
'permanently' as you can the 'Welcome' message? While you can't do this via
the web admin interface as you can with the welcome, you can make a list
specific version of the invite.txt template as discussed at
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp

If this is a request to add the ability to edit the invite.txt template
via the web admin interface, please clarify that that is the case.

I would really like the invite template to be editable through the web admin interface. Could this be implemented by someone? Thanks in advance.
