Hi, I've just recently setup the mailman list server software and had a question I couldn't find the answer to. The question is:

Is there any way to substitute this welcome announcement with one I modify?? I'd like to send a welcome msg to new users but the one listed below is far too detailed. I saw in the list configuration options, the ability to prepend a message to the "default" one but I'd like to do away with the "default" text below. Is this possible?

Thanks, John Jones Numbskull Interactive www.numbskull.com
