I can pretty much promise that this and other measures will be in the
initial Mailman 2.2 release, but it isn't in Mailman 2.1

Interesting idea, but I can see some installations would want to send
some kind of response in case it is really from a subscribe who just
doesn't happen to know what their correct subscribed address is.

Yes, we definitely plan to not echo the message body, at least by
default. However, many people feel there should be no response at all.
See for example the thread beginning at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2008-March/019804.html>
and continuing into April.
