>> After your comment yesterday regarding having tried to join the box-admins list and this issue with Frank I began to wonder if there was a problem.  So I tried joining the box-admins list with an alternate address as a test.  Within seconds I got the email at my alternative address asking me to confirm that I wanted to join the list.  Nothing more will happen until the URL in that email is used.  If you visit that URL and confirm that you want to join that will then add you to a moderation queue (assuming the list does not allow open joining, I'm not sure how the webteam list is setup in this regard).  At that point an email should be sent to all email addresses setup to receive moderation requests.  I confirmed and after a few more seconds I received the email at my administrative email address to authorize the membership.  That email contained a link much like the one I sent earlier, I visited it and found my membership request, all as expected.  So it seems everything is working as expected.  I think there must be some user confusion somewhere.

The "subscribe" cgi-bin script (Python binary whatever) works, as you just proved it by joining box-team list. I'm not sure what to say. Maybe we should leave it for now. At any rate, there are some details in the webteam list archive from the email of mine that arrived. Do we make the box-team list the provisional webteam list? I'm sort of out of ideas at the moment. 

the html of mailman is severely outdated. perhaps that upsets the webkit browsers?

try mailing to webteam-request at lists.squeakfoundation.org with only subscribe in the subject.
