Hello people; I am setting up a Listserv list for someone here at Temple. This discussion group has a welcome file and a mailtpl file that are intended to be sent out automatically to each subscriber. The problem is that I want this list to be set so that Subscription= By_Owner, but when I do that, the welcome nad mailtpl files don't get sent out to subscribers. With Subscription= Public, the welcome and mailtpl files do get sent out to subscribers. Why? How can I have Subscription= By_Owner AND have those two files sent out automatically to each subscriber? Thanks. Stan Horwitz Internet: [log in to unmask] Bitnet: STAN@TEMPLEVM Temple University -- Senior Consultant (My views are all mine!)
