Hello,
I searched the archive, but could find no answer to my question. Is
it possible to edit/modify the contents of the membership reminder
that is sent out monthly by email?

It's a template stored in /usr/local/mailman/templates/en/, which you can copy to /usr/local/mailman/lists/<listname>/en/, and then edit it locally in that directory.
If you don't have privileged site admin access to the server where Mailman is installed and running, then you'll need to ask your site admin to do this on your behalf.

Oops...
I take it thats the way you should do it for any of them?
I edited the 'postheld.txt' template in the templates/en directory, instead of copying it to the list subdir.
It works, and I did want the change for all lists - but it is good to know how to do a custom one for an individual list if I need to...
Thanks for the tip...

If you edited the file in-place, then when you do your next upgrade, that template will get replaced.
If you copy it to a list-specific subdirectory (as I suggested), then it won't get replaced as part of the next upgrade.

FAQ 4.48 at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp> has more information about editing the templates and what you need to do in order to get them to be picked up.

Ok, thanks, some good info there...

Done, including sudo bin/mailmanctl restart, but unfortunately my
list-specific cronpass.txt does not override the standard :-(

Did you put it in the existing 'lists/listname/en' directory of your Mailman installation which may not be /usr/local/mailman/lists/<listname>/en?
Is this an English language list?
Did you refer to the FAQ for other locations you might want to put the edited template to make it domain or site wide?

After much puzzling, this is solved.
Monthly password reminders are not sent on behalf of a specific list even if the remindee is only a member of one list. Therefore, list specific (and for implementation reasons, domain specific) cronpass.txt templates don't work.
An edited cronpass.txt must be in templates/site/<language>/cronpass.txt.
