The WELCOME file is not actually a template but a file. FILES can be given. Elements of the template file itself can not. Personally, I have files stored on my PC which I then email manually -- a poor boy's GIVE if you will. It's a heck of alot "cheaper" than mailing the LISTSERV a command, wait for it to process it, and then mail the resulting output to your victim, er correspondent.
