Not exactly. It shoud give '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead of just 'real_name'. I thought you perhaps wanted a list email address as opposed to just a name which is why I suggested that. >Do you have any clue what those 2 little squares instead of the list alias >name is ? >To be more specific the subject appears like: Welcome to the mailing list >"[][]" >(the brackets are squares ;) ) The squares may represent non-printing characters which may be an issue if the acceptable_aliases field begins with a blank line. This is partially my error. I was thinking that acceptable_aliases is a list, but it is not. It is a string. The construct acceptable_alaises[0] returns the first character of the string, which if acceptable_aliases = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', is simply 't', so I don't know what the two 'squares' are unless acceptable_aliases begins with a blank line, in which case they are probably some representation of a carriage-return character. So now I have another question. If you don't want people to see the name of the list in the subject of the welcome message, why don't you just change the list name - see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.070.htp>. If you really want to keep the list name as is and put the first entry from acceptable aliases in the welcome subject, this should do it. list_aliases = [alias.strip() for alias in self.acceptable_aliases.split()] realname = None for realname in list_aliases: if realname: break if not realname: realname = self.real_name msg = Message.UserNotification( self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(), _('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'), text, pluser) That will use the first non-empty line from acceptable_aliases if any and the list's real_name if there is no non-empty acceptable_aliases line. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
