You have to set the "32" bit in new_member_options which you cannot do
via the web UI. You have to use Mailman's bin/config_list or
bin/withlist to do this, but due to a bug, that doesn't work in
Mailman prior to 2.1.15. See
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/865825>.

HOWEVER! this is all moot because the list setting send_reminders = No
takes precedence over individual user options, and when send_reminders
is No, no periodic reminders are sent for the list regardless of user
options. I.e., if send_reminders is Yes, individual users can turn
their's off, but if it is No, individual users cannot turn their's on.
