Look around in the Templates section of your list administration web interface. You may be most interested in the Welcome message (which is a static file, no variables or substitutions available), or the "Standard message to new subscribers $signup" template which allows for limited personalizing by substitutions. But it all depends on just what you really mean by "custom" though . . . if you want something unique for each list - no problem. If you want something really individualized for particular subscribers (beyond their email address substituted here and there), maybe not. >>> [log in to unmask] 6/28/2007 2:04:34 PM >>> Is there a way to create a custom introduction message for new list subscribers.
