Originally reported here: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-i18n-nl/2021q4/000075.html I've recently subscribed to the kde-18n-nl mailing list to send a couple of emails and noticed the 'Welcome to the "Kde-i18n-nl" mailing list' email from Mailman is broken. While the text is in Dutch, none of the variables are being expanded correctly. For example, the beginning of the email says: ``` Welkom bij de mailinglijst %(real_name)s@%(host_name)! %(welcome)s Om naar deze lijst te kunnen posten, stuur uw e-mail naar: %(emailaddr)s Algemene informatie over de mailinglijst kunt u vinden op: %(listinfo_url)s ``` My guess is that the text just needs to be synced with the original, which has likely changed its variable expansion format?
Referred this issue to webmaster@kde.org and webmaster@mail.kde.org.
It appears that at some point or another someone tried to customise the template used for sending these notifications - which broke it. Dec 07 17:07:57 2021 (8084) broken template: /var/lib/mailman/lists/kde-i18n-nl/en/subscribeack.txt unsupported format character '!' (0x21) at index 53 I've now removed the customised template and everything is working correctly again.
