4.33. How do I put a subscribe form for my list on a web page?

Cut and paste the code below into the HTML of your web page.

The only required parts of this form are the email text box and the submit button - edit or remove the others as you like.

 <h2>Join the XYZ list</h2>

 <form method="post" action=
 "http://example.org/mailman/subscribe/XYZ">
  Your E-mail address: <input name="email"> Your Name (optional):
  <input name="fullname">

  <p>You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only
  mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your
  subscription. <strong>Do not use a valuable password</strong> as
  it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext. If you
  choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically
  generated for you, and it will be sent to you once you've
  confirmed your subscription. You can always request a mail-back
  of your password when you edit your personal options.</p>

  <p>Password choice: <input type="password" name="pw"> Confirm
  Password: <input type="password" name="pw-conf"></p>

  <p>Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?
  (You may choose NoMail after you join.) <input type="radio" name=
  "digest" value="0" checked> No <input type="radio" name="digest"
  value="1"> Yes</p>

  <p><input type="submit" name="email-button" value=
  "Subscribe"></p>
  </form>
