Ah. that can't be had so easily. UNSUB/RESUB is the only way I know of. If the List Owner has posted a copy of the message on a web site somewhere (this can even be done in the LISTSERV WWW Interface) >> GIVE user@address listname WELCOME > >This produced the error "Extraneous parameter - "WELCOME"." Sorry. I was in a hurry this morning. Correct syntax is GIVE full.filename [to] user@address The '.' seems to be required on most systems. The [to] is optional and if used, of course, do NOT include the [] brackets. This has the same problem in that the listname.welcome file (if any) would be sent, but the MAILTPL template message (if any) will not be sent this way.
