See below. =================== Subject: Re: questionnaire From: Nathan Brindle <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 5 Jul 1996 13:08:52 EDT I have one list that I run this way. Basically, you would need to create a listname.MAILTPL for your list with at least the following 2 templates, set up something like this: %----------------------------cut here-------------------------------% >>> SUB_OWNER &LISTNAME: &WHOM requested to join .TO &WHOM A copy of the &LISTNAME membership questionnaire has been sent to you. Please read it carefully and follow the instructions to complete it and return it to the list owners. >>> ADDREQ1 &LISTNAME Membership Survey .RE OWNERS .TO &WHOM .CE &LISTNAME Membership Survey NOTE: Please make sure when reply to this msg it goes back to the address &LISTNAME-Request@&MYHOST. Thanks. This is a standard questionnaire required for all prospective subscribers to &LISTNAME. Blah blah blah... .ce -------------- Your list membership will be confirmed by the List Owner. You will receive a message confirming your membership shortly. Thank you! .fo off ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below For List Owner's Use Only (FWD to listserv) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- .* this will format the subscribers address for FWD to LISTSERV // JOB ADD &LISTNAME &WHOM &USERNAME // EOJ %----------------------------cut here-------------------------------% Note that you cannot format the SUB_OWNER template; it all comes out as one long paragraph without formatting no matter what you do, because it is a "linear" template. But you should modify it from the default to let people know that they will receive a questionnaire to be filled out and returned. The questionnaire itself goes in ADDREQ1 and you can use all of the template formatting commands in it. For more information on templates, see chapter 9 of the list owner's manual, particularly 9.4.3. ============================== -- ________________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............
