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!
