Hello everyone,
I am new to this list. I am the Mailing List Administrator for our company. I am impressed with the quality of the Mailman program and look forward to running the program. We just installed it for our list hosting (mainly to replace Majordomo to give our customers a web-based program for their lists). I have a question that I am not able to find answers for in the archives and am hoping that you can direct me to where I can find the answer.
Simply, we need to remove the "Edit the HTML for the public list pages" under the 'Other Administrative Activities' on the General Options page. Our take on this is that once we have the list set up for our customer, we don't want them messing with the html. First, because we want our logo to stay on the list pages and, second, because many of our customers are not proficient in html and a minor slip could render the output unreadable. So can you direct me to where I can get this item removed?
Well, I said a couple questions but I'll hold off on the others. I need an answer to the above question right away as I am not comfortable going public with this until I can disable that feature.
I appreciate your help and I hope that I can reciprocate in the near future.
Best wishes, Bradford "Biff" Shaw List Administrator PerilPoint Communications Inc. http://www.perilpoint.com

otherlinks.AddItem(Link(mlist.GetScriptURL('edithtml'),
'Edit the HTML for the public list pages'))Comment out those two lines (put #' at the beginning of each line). For added safety, remove the $prefix/cgi-bin/edithtml binary -- where $prefix is the install directory -- and remove edithtml' from the
CGI_PROGS variable in src/Makefile.in.
