Yes, it should be possible (note that this is not always the case when installing a new version). Some statistics will stop updating while you are at 1.8d or might even be reset, but I can't think of any major problems. I am not making any legally binding guarantees, mind you. > (2) I've tailored a few site templates and certainly my list-owners have > tailored some list templates.

I can't think of any major changes in this area, except for the MAILTPL that are actually a web page. Some WWWTPL on the other hand have changed dramatically as a result of the new web interface. > (3) Corollary to (2): How does a list-owner see the new default templates > (without killing the currently modified templates)? Personally I'd just GET DEFAULT MAILTPL and use a text editor. Eric
