[Mailman-Developers] Problem with substitution of %(listname)

[Ellen Spertus]

I created a new list named "Sys".  When I subscribe and confirm by web, I get the following web page.  Note the "%(listname)s" on the second line.

You have successfully confirmed your subscription request to the mailing list %(listname)s, however final approval is required from the list moderator before you will be subscribed. Your request has been forwarded to the list moderator, and you will be notified of the moderator's decision.

Later substitutions (such as at the foot of the page) are successful.  When I look at the list directly in Python, it seems to be okay:

>>> sys

<mailing list "sys" (unlocked) at 82fb764>

>>> sys.real_name

'Sys'

>>> sys._internal_name

'sys'

I'm using Mailman 2.1a3.  Any ideas what could be wrong?
