You never modify default.mailtpl as it is replaced every time you install a new version or even a new build. List customization goes into listname.mailtpl, however for the WWW interface there was the issue that some menus (like the home page) are not associated with any list in particular, and yet you should not be tampering with default.mailtpl. So, these go into www_archive.mailtpl. >2. Can someone give me a "real" explanation of what .DD &DD does?

It means the routine calling the template processor has prepared a block of long, multiline info that needs to be inserted somewhere in the template (well, you don't have to, but you may be sorry if you don't). >My first list is a public list but the second is intended to be private. WWW archiving for private lists is one of the new features of 1.8d. You'll be able to hide private lists from the home page using "Confidential= Yes". You can't serve private lists in 1.8c because all access is through the CGI script, which is the same for all lists. So, 1.8c never creates pages for lists with private archives. Eric
