I've read a dozen articles about it from this list archives, and
everybody's Listserv tips, but I still can't get it to work.
 
I try "get ballroom filelist (ctl" and get back "File ballroom filelist
is unknown to Listserv"
 
Then I do "get ballroom mailtpl" and get "File ballroom mailtpl is
unknown to Listserv"
 
(The only file I _can_ get is DEFAULT MAILTPL (not $DEFAULT MAILTPL).)
 
Yet, the listserv maintainer at mitvma provided us with a default
mailtpl, which we filled in and which _he installed for us_ and which
works fine (except that the "Subject:" line in line 1 does not become
the subject of the mail message as advertised, but rather becomes the
first line in the body--but I digress...).
 
But I would now like to change the MAILTPL, and continue to have the
ability to change it occasionally in the future, without bothering the
listserv maintainer every time.  Everytime this subject comes up on this
list, the consensus is that (a) yes, it can be done and (b) it doesn't
need the listserv's maintainer's help and (possibly c) it doesn't need a
FILELIST either, but none of the approaches seems to work.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks.
