I have 2 questions regarding the MAILTPL 1) IS the Subject line supposed to be the text after the TEMPLATENAME ? Not happening. 2) Is .FO OFF supposed to work ? It is supposed to put the message "as typed". I joined My template and the output of a test. If anyone sees something I missed please tell me what I overlooked. PS I deleted my "Index" Account earlier this evening but if you look into the "Reject message" LISTSERV still used my "sub" name instead the name in my message.
