Description
The /mlm page that handles user subscriptions needs help text that says something like:
"Check off the boxes next to the lists you wish to subscribe to. If you are already subscribed to a list, and want to unsubscribe, enter your email address and leave the box next to the list you want to unsubscribe from unchecked, then click submit."

here is some suggested text:
the site should have the following text for a logged in user:
You are subscribed to the lists with checks in the box(es). To unsubscribe from a list, uncheck the corresponding box(es) and click "Save Preferences".
for unauthenticated users the text should read:
Enter your email address and check the box(es) corresponding to the lists to which you wish to subscribe, then click "Save Preferences". To unsubsibe from a list, enter your email address and leave the box corresponding to the lists you wish to unsubscribe from blank and click "Save Preferences".

Closing out this golden oldie.
Rather than writing up specific help text, I've set up the ability to set a configuration variable. With input formats, you can even set custom text for (un)authenticated users via PHP ( not that I'd recommend that! )
Thanks Gregory!
