The default template for the list welcome email does not contain any
"Subscribing to ..." paragraph.

Check the

List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message
(Details for welcome_msg)

box on the list's General Options page, and go to the "Edit the public
HTML pages and text files" link on the upper right of the list's admin
pages and check the "Welcome email text file".
