OK, I did it, and it works.  Thanks.  BUT -- I ran a little experiment with
one of my lists (where I didn't insert the code into the >>> WWW_INDEX
portion of the mailtpl), instead adding the .gif file insertion line into
the >>> $WWW_ARCHIVE_HEADER portion as follows:

>>> $WWW_ARCHIVE_HEADER  Header text for WWW archive interface
.* Set white background to match anti-aliasing for default GIF files
.* Other GIF files for different backgrounds are available from L-Soft
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000">
<P><CENTER><IMG
SRC="http://www.american.edu/images/logos/aulogo.gif"></CENTER></P>

I expected that this would pull the image everywhere the >>>
$WWW_ARCHIVE_HEADER file was called for in other places from the
default.mailtpl or contour-L.mailtpl, but it doesn't -- it only grabs it
and inserts it on the main web archive interface page.  Any ideas about
why?  And is there any danger to putting the .gif into the >>>
$WWW_ARCHIVE_HEADER part instead of the >>> WWW_INDEX part?

Thanks.
