What works for me is I log in to our server as listserv and just FTP the
file down to my local machine using ASCII mode. Then I edit it in a simple
ASCII editor like notepad and FTP it back, again using ASCII mode. A delete
and a rename to replace the previous version leaves everything working.
 
I have used the method to create a custom message, list_name.welcome and a
customized version of MAILTPL, list_name.mailtpl, where I only have text for
the messages I changed. Now instead of the generic "You have been subscribed
...", or "You have been removed ...", I can give them messages personalized
for our list.
