	It's easy enough to change the templates, but if any of your 
mailing list owners have shell access to the server, they might be 
able to change them back.

	The issue of changing templates is addressed in FAQ 3.11, at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp>, 
although this is not the primary purpose of this entry.

	That would be a bit more difficult.  That would require source 
code changes.
