I assume you mean to change the mail template used when a new user
subscribes. The name of this file would be <listname>.MAILTPL.
Unfortunately, Listserv Lite only allows a change to the site-wide mail
template. so configuring a different message for each list is disabled.
  IF yours is the ONLY list sent from that host, you can modify the
DEFAULT.MAILTPL. Try changing the sections starting with:
>>> SIGNUP1
>>> $SIGNUP
>>> ADD1

  Always be sure to backup the default.mailtpl BEFORE making any
changes!

Enjoy!
