I believe the trick is to use the format of %(fullname)s for the user's fullname. I don't know if there is a first name variable or not.
If you load the members of the list with the format:
Some Text Here <email-address>
Then "Some Text Here" will be the "fullname" variable. That's why I would be somewhat surprised to find Mailman parsed it into first and last name. But it might.
I'll do a little investigating.

I'm trying to move from another script that used subscriber list with first name and e-
mail address - I'd like to use this, but don't know how to enter it in mass subscribing. I've tried putting the first name in front, separated by coma or without - it wouldn't work.
I couldn't find this info in the faq and would really appreciate your help with it.
