Q: How can a site manager control the
lists that are shown in Subscriber's Corner when a user selects "Show all
lists"?
Answer by Françoise Becker VP of
Software Engineering, L-Soft
In LISTSERV 14.3, there is a new Web
template, VISIBLE LISTS, which allows the site manager to define the lists
that will be shown in Subscriber's Corner.
By default, the Subscriber's Corner will
display the non-confidential lists. These are the same lists that are shown
on the Server Archives page, with the "Confidential=" keyword set to "No" or
"Service".
