I'd appreciate confirmation and suggestions of how to go about editing the welcome message in LISTSERV 1.8a. The listowner instructions are unclear on how to do this. It seems as though the list manager must forward to me the $DEFAULT MAILFORM file, and then I have to return to him a file with the name listname MAILFORM, where "listname" would be the name of my list, and which would contain only those sections of the original file that I was editing. Do I have this right? Is there any way of getting the file without bothering the list manager? I haven't been successful at getting the attention of the list manager at WU for awhile. What's done with the listname MAILFORM file once the listmanager receives it? Thanks, Mike Holloway [log in to unmask]
