I have a list hosted by sourceforge (meaning I only have the web interface to use). The list is set up for announcements only. In a reply to a previous post here, someone pointed me to:
While I am not using this method, I did notice this part:
"if you don't have write access to Mailman's directories and files, then you won't be able to create a customized welcome message for your list. Beginning with Mailman 2.1.6, you can edit the welcome message via the 'Edit the public HTML pages and text files' link in the web admin interface."
This caught my attention because I have added a welcome msg which says the list is for announcements only, but this gets added to it in the actual mail:
"To post to this list, send your email to:"
Which is contradictory. The general information page is similarly confusing.
No big deal, but I presume "editing the public HTML pages" might provide a solution. Unfortunately, I cannot find this option...
Sourceforge uses ver. 2.1.9.

On the same General Options page where you added the welcome_msg text (and other web admin interface pages), at the upper right there should be a column of "Other Administrative Activities" links. One of these is "Edit the public HTML pages and text files". Following that link will take you to a page where you can select and edit "Welcome email text file".
You can also edit the "General list information page" from there.

There is the "Other Administrative Activities" column, but no "Edit the public HTML pages" -- presumably sourceforge does not want this. Sigh. I guess I'll bug them about it.

On the main administrative page menu, it's on the far right - "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" - under Other Administrative Activities. It's in 2.1.12. Isn't this in 2.1.9 also?
