I'm trying to implement a simple bottom_banner in my .mailtpl file. I'm getting a bottom_banner, all right, but not with the results I intended. I got the [listname].mailtpl file, where the relevant section said BOTTOM_BANNER Bottom banner for plain text postings TOP_BANNER Top banner for plain text postings BOTTOM_BANNER_HTML Bottom banner for HTML postings TOP_BANNER_HTML Top banner for HTML postings POSTACK1 Reply sent to anyone posting to the list (for "replybots") WWW_LIST_HEADER HTML header for web interface WWW_LIST_TRAILER HTML trailer for web interface >>> DIST_VIRUS Virus detected in DISTRIBUTE job etc. So I modified it to read >>> BOTTOM_BANNER Bottom banner for plain text postings TRAINING9 is a test listserv maintained by HSLC See http://www.hslc.org for more information about us. Mail to mailto:[log in to unmask] to leave the list TOP_BANNER Top banner for plain text postings BOTTOM_BANNER_HTML Bottom banner for HTML postings TOP_BANNER_HTML Top banner for HTML postings POSTACK1 Reply sent to anyone posting to the list (for "replybots") WWW_LIST_HEADER HTML header for web interface WWW_LIST_TRAILER HTML trailer for web interface >>> DIST_VIRUS Virus detected in DISTRIBUTE job but I get everything between the two >>> as the bottom_banner. OK, so I put a >>> in front of top_banner. I get the correct bottom_banner, but I then get a top banner including everthing between >>> TOP_BANNER and >>> DIST_VIRUS as a top_banner, which is not the desired results. I tried putting >>> in front of each entry between >>> BOTTOM_BANNER and >>> DIST_VIRUS but then I get the POSTACK1 response, again not the desired results. I've tried implementing .bb and .eb as well, but I want the same banner to go out with each message, rather than a rotating banner I've checked the online documentation at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/owner/owner.html and, although I can find examples of rotating bottom_banners, I can't find an example of a a simple bottom_banner. I've searched the archives at http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?S1=lstown-l as well; again, plenty of examples of rotating banners, but for a simple banner, the general response seems to be that they can be done, rather than how to do them. (I'm always glad to be proven wrong!) Thanks! Dennis
