Mark,
Thank you for this reminder, but it’s not really sufficient for most. The ‘Mailman Settings’ dialog does, indeed show the other preferences tags, and yes, as you say, the dialog for ‘List-based preferences’ only shows values that are not inherited and when you set a value there, it shows.
There a two problems with this:
a. Once a value is overridden on the ‘List-based preferences’ dialog, you cannot go back to it being inherited by removing the override. b. You cannot see, on this dialog, what the inherited value is.
This is not user-friendly.
May I suggest the following:
That each option shows the following:
o Value 1 o Value 2 (or the equivalent for pull-down menus)
A box showing inheritance status: [ ] Use inherited value from address-based preference: Value2
If the ‘Use inherited value’ is chosen, then the inherited value shows. but the value radio buttons become non-selectable. If not, then whatever value the value radio box has become the value for the list,
From what I see, the ‘Use inherited value’ is the default for new lists/addresses. To change a value, the user would uncheck this box, making the radio buttons selectable, and then set the desired value.
Yours,

I then looked at several of the disabled accounts, but the subscription info page in Postorius had no information about whether an account was enabled or disabled. Why is this not displayed???. The members can't see if their account is enabled. Is this another example of the disconnect between Mailman and Postorius?
If the user has a Django account, she can see all that info at (e.g. for this list) <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/accounts/subscriptions/ <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/accounts/subscriptions/>> She gets there from
Mailman settingsin the dropdown under her user name. She can also get there via theManage Subscriptionbutton on the list's Info page. That takes her toList-based preferencesfor the list. Any setting not selected there is inherited from the Address-based preferences or Global Mailman preferences
