Then I edit it in a simple ASCII editor like notepad and FTP it back, again using ASCII mode. A delete and a rename to replace the previous version leaves everything working. I have used the method to create a custom message, list_name.welcome and a customized version of MAILTPL, list_name.mailtpl, where I only have text for the messages I changed. Now instead of the generic "You have been subscribed ...", or "You have been removed ...", I can give them messages personalized for our list. Leon | Leon D.
