From what Ben Parker said it would appear it depends on the LISTERV
version you are using.  If you can change it it will be in your host
site's default.mailtpl (mailtpl = mail template).  Dealing with such
things is in chapter 9 of the manual.  Get your host site's default by
sending to it's LISTSERV address:  GET DEFAULT.MAILTPL then go through it
(it will be large) looking for something likely.  I can't tell you what
the >>> WHATEVER should be as I never got an answer on that and it is not
in the default of my site.  If it is in yours you can change it in your
listname.mailtpl; if it isn't you can't change it.  All I can tell you
to look for is the known language contained in these things (don't look
for the name of the list or the such as that is likely in code, look
for the free text, that specific to the item).

If you can change it you might be able to do so via the web interface
but I can't tell you anything about that.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing, the editor-header
is the blurb at the beginning of items sent to the editor/header (there
are two different ones, depending on how the item is to be approved)
explaining how to do the approval; subscribers to the list never see
these (unless someone, like me, screws up and does a resend when an OK
is called for).  Is that what you are asking about?     Douglas
