Yes I do mean that.  I used confirm.html since that is the naming convention 
used to create custom pages for much of the other IO of Mailman.

It seems rather odd and extremely limiting that Mailman functiuons as you 
describe in regards to confirm.  Most of the other pages are customizable 
(listinfo, etc), why in the world would the programmers make such a choice to 
not allow site owners to customize the confirm page?  Is this something that 
can be fixed in future releases as it should not be very hard to do?  While I 
do like very much the functionality of Mailman, the default interface leaves a 
whole lot to be desired and lead to a very unprofessional look and feel when 
added to a site.

I'm not sure what you mean by confirm.html. If you mean the results of
going to a URL like
<http://www.example.com/mailman/confirm/list_name/some_string>, those
results are all built on the fly by the Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py script.

There is a very limited control of color. See the section "Web UI
defaults" in Mailman/Defaults.py for documentation. Beyond that any
customization has to be done in the confirm.py module itself or in
methods in Mailman/htmlformat.py.

Note that it is fairly simple to add a reference to a css style sheet to
the Document.Format() method. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-March/060881.html>.
