Notify user that he already subscribed to a list

[SansPseudoFix]

Version

6.2.24

Expected behavior

User should be notify that he already has a subscription when he tries to subscribe to a list.

Actual behavior

When a user tries to subscribe to a list he already subscribed, he does not receive a subscription email (seems ok) but he is not informed that he already has a subscription neither.

HI @SansPseudoFix,

I think as following:

If you have not logged in, you have to enter your e-mail address to request for subscribing to the list. Because, Sympa does not know who are you. In fact, everyone can enter your e-mail address instead of their own. Therefore, Sympa would be better not to tell everyone whether you have subscribed or not.

Thank you @ikedas, I see. Seems legit with web interface but maybe, at least, send a mail: "You already are a subscriber of this list"?

[ikedas]

@SansPseudoFix, if Sympa sends a mail, I think content of the mail may be such as:

Someone (probably you) requested for subscribing to xxxx list, but you have already subscribed to this list. There is nothing to do on your side.

Is this appropriate? (And is my english sane?)

[SansPseudoFix]

Yes, I think it's perfect! Thanks again.

(And is my english sane?)

Well, from my french point of view, it seems flawless :P

[ikedas]

Thanks for confirming! I'll try to implement it. Please wait for a while (for some weeks).
