I've read over the listserv.tips file and I'm still very confused. I currently run four semi-related mailing lists. I would like to go through and reset some of the options in the headers on some of them (one needs a description change, another needs the daily limit upped, etc). The postmaster said it was high-time I learned to do it myself (and I very much agree). The problem: I have no clue, even after reading the tips file, how to go about doing this. I think I understand the procedure (get the headers, edit them, and put them back), but beyond that I'm not sure HOW to do this, mostly because I do not understand the terms the tips file throws around. Can anyone take a few mintues and explain to me in moron terms I can understand what exactly I need to do? --- Also, and this may be related, how can I change the file that new subscribers receive when the sign on to the list. I would like to replace the standard with a copy of the FAQ for that list. --- Thanks so much for your time. ____ Robert A.
