Unfortunately, LISTSERV TIPS is very out of date on some things...and this is one of them. :) The file you want is called DEFAULT MAILTPL, and the beauty of the change is that LISTSERV now allows a listowner to manipulate the mail templates without intervention from the LISTSERV maintainer. The change was made in LISTSERV version 1.8a and is documented in the 1.8a release notes. Nathan
