The signup page is the SUBED-MAIN template in *.WWWTPL (either the DEFAULT or
listname).  the various options are there.

Some message text is generated by LISTSERV, on-the-fly, i.e. is a real-time
command response, the same as with email commands.  Most such text is found in
*.MAILTPL but some is hard-coded.  A specific example would help.

The copy of *.WWWTPL in your wwwroot\listserver\ is copied nightly from the
LISTSERV\MAIN directory as part of the nightly rebuild process.
To modify any listname.WWWTPL you may use the WWW List Mangement interface for
that list or you may GET/edit/PUT listname.WWWTPL by the usual email methods.
This ensures the correct copy is edited so changes will 'stick'.  In general,
all *.html and *.wwwtpl files in your \wwwroot\listserver directory are
rebuilt at least nightly and you should never make changes there as they will
be overwritten.
