I would like to be able to edit the listname-l mailtpl file for my list. My list maintainer installed one for me on our LISTSERV/VM system creating a BOTTOM_BANNER (works fine) but.... The brief section of the Manual quoted below implies that I should be able to edit this file once it has been created. Thus far, I have been unable to to do this. When I sent: > tell listserv get ped-em-l mailtpl I got this response: > * File "PED-EM-L MAILTPL" is unknown to LISTSERV. Am I missing something simple? I'd rather not bother the busy list maintainer in order to tinker with the MAILTPL file. Thanks, -- Dale Steele LISTOWNER: PED-EM-L > 9.5.
