I just recreated a list called IH52-9 with a welcome message which I had no problem setting up on this list. No matter what I do, I still can't get IH52-9 MAILTPL to be the confirmation message that gets sent out to each subscriber. I followed the suggestions Eric and someone else made about how to do this, but so far, it hasn't worked. My IH52-9 MAILTPL file does appear as it should in the IH52-9 FILELIST and in the IH52-9 FILEID. I also tried using the LSVPUT command for this file with the PUT and than the PUTC option, but this didn't work. Obviously, I am missing some step in this process. What am I doing wrong?
